Jayapura- On September 11, Indonesia once again commemorated National Radio Day, a moment that highlights the vital role of radio as a communication medium that has long been an important part of people’s lives.

Senior Commissioner of Police Bayu Suseno, Head of Public Relations Task Force for Peace Cartenz-2024, expressed his views on this commemoration by emphasizing the great contribution of radio to the history of Indonesia’s struggle for independence.

“The value of National Radio Day in my eyes is that in the past, information transmitted by various radio stations has proven successful in filling the joints of Indonesian people’s lives,” he said.

Radio not only conveys news, but also spreads the values ​​of struggle, Pancasila, entertainment, and various drama programs that reach all corners of the country, including remote areas.

Seeing the development of technology today, Bayu also highlighted the importance of radio in continuing to adapt to the changing times.

The commemoration of National Radio Day is a reminder of how big a role radio plays in uniting society and maintaining the spirit of nationalism, as well as being a part of Indonesia’s history of independence that cannot be forgotten.
