Public Radio of Armenia
Official website
May 7 is Radio Day, an
invention that changed the world, in general, and the world of communication, in
particular. It is celebrated in a number of post-Soviet countries, including
Armenia.
On August 27, 1926 the “Soviet Armenia” newspaper informed:
“The construction of the radio station in Yerevan has been completed. The
station will start operating in five days.”
The Voice of Yerevan was
first heard on air in September, 1926. On April 6, 1927 the first radio schedule
consisting of news and concerts was printed in the press.
The Day of
Radio was first observed in Moscow on May 7, 1945. From that time on May 7 has
been marked in Armenia as Radio Day.
