WASHINGTON - Exactly who discovered radio is the subject of debate.
What's not debatable is the little box with sound coming from it has
affected all of us.
Beyonce sings, "I'm in love with my radio cause it never lets me down."
Jonathan Richman sings, "It helps me from being along late at night."
The Ramones ask, "Do you remember lying in bed, with your covers pulled
up over your head?"
Wednesday gives fans of radio reason to celebrate as it's World Radio Day.
It was proclaimed in 2011 by the United Nations educational, scientific, and cultural organization.
The day is intended to celebrate radio as a medium, to improve
cooperation between broadcasters and encourage networks and community
radio to promote access to information and freedom of expression over
the airways, according to UNESCO.
