[João Costa > CT1FBF]

World Radio Day relays round the world

ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) members will be taking part in a
round-the-world broadcast relay to celebrate the 4th World Radio Day.

On Friday 13 February 2015, participating broadcasters around the
globe will devote at least half-an-hour of their programming to the
WRD 2015 themes “Innovation and youth in radio”.

The main organisers, the European Broadcasting Union, in partnership
with the ABU and other broadcasting unions, will also offer three
short optional pre-recorded radio features devoted to Radio and Youth,
Radio and Innovation and the History of Humanitarian Use of Radio: UN
Radio.

The segments can be used whole or in part in a time slot of each
station’s choice. Most of the features will also be available with
scripts in French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese, thanks to the
UN.

Speeches by UN personalities will also be available ready to use on
air, plus a one-hour rights-free concert live from Geneva by the UN
Jazz Orchestra will be made available.

Organisers say that, as this will be a relay following the world’s
time zones, there will be a succession of radio stations each handing
over to the next participant throughout the day.

To give listeners around the world the chance to follow this special
WRD program, the broadcasts will be put on an Internet stream,
coordinated via the EBU in Geneva.
