Brief history [ edit | edit source ]

Founded in 1928, under the name of the Radio-Telephone Broadcasting Society, Radio Romania is one of the oldest radio stations in Europe, but well connected, through dynamics, editorial strategy and broadcast content, to the immediate reality. Before November 1, 1928, the date on which the first transmission of the national station took place, there was a real pro-radio movement in Romania, whose main protagonist was Professor Dragomir Hurmuzescu (the first president of the Society's Board of Directors); the passion and work of some pioneers in the field, in Romania, have materialized through the establishment of the institution that today bears the name of the Romanian Broadcasting Society and which millions of listeners know as Radio Romania.

Radio Romania's flagship station, Radio Romania Actualități, is considered the successor of the first national station, although it now has numerous "siblings". So, on November 1, 1928, the first official broadcast by Radio Romania takes place.

Another important moment in the station's history takes place on September 21, 1939, when the legionary group of 9 people, who assassinated Prime Minister Armand Călinescu , broke into the Radiodifuzioni headquarters, interrupted the Radio Orchestra's concert and announced the assassination to the whole country (time 14:15). Although armed with 8 pistols, 32 magazines, an incendiary vial and a 1 kg bomb, after this announcement they surrendered to the SRR guards. Like the announcement of the assassination, the Prime Minister's funeral was broadcast live on the radio station.

Order of Marshal Ion Antonescu " Soldiers, I order you: Cross the Prut!" ", given on the night of June 21/22, 1941, the return of arms against the German army, on August 23, 1944, the abdication of King Mihai I, or the days of the Revolution in December 1989, are other moments in Romania's history that were broadcast live on the same station by radio.

Radio Romania Actualității is recognized as a fervent promoter of sports, on June 11, 1933, with the first live broadcast of a football match: Romania - Yugoslavia , in the Balkan Cup. Starting from that moment, Radio Romania Actualităti gathered all the sports lovers around the radios, making direct and exclusive transmissions of the domestic football championship, all the matches of the national team, including those from the European or world championships, but also from other competitions where Romanian athletes won numerous medals, European or World Championships and Olympic Games.

Also, the name Radio Romania Actualității is linked to the promotion of quality Romanian and international music, the station being recognized as a launching pad for many big names in Romanian music. February 20, 1937 is the date when Maria Tănase, the unsurpassed representative of the Romanian folk song, was launched on the radio. She is only among the first of a truly impressive list.

According to the results of the latest polls, Radio Romania Actualității has the largest number of listeners at the urban level, being the most listened to radio station in Bucharest. ^[1]
