100 years since the foundation of Ukrainian Radio
"Ukrainian Radio" was first heard on November 16, 1924 in Kharkiv. And it has worked continuously until now. Until 2017, "Ukrainian Radio" was a state broadcaster, since 2017 it has been part of the public broadcaster — the National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine ("Public Broadcasting"). "Ukrainian Radio" is best known for the fact that since 2000 it has been conducting a unity campaign — the All-Ukrainian Radio Dictator of National Unity.
"Ukrposhta" declares the release of a new postage stamp to mark the centenary of the beginning of broadcasting of "Ukrainian Radio". The issue was called "New Century of Ukrainian Radio", and the design was developed by Volodymyr Taran. The circulation is 280,000 postage stamps.
And the National Bank has presented a new commemorative coin to mark the centennial of Ukrainian Radio. UNN reports this with reference to the NBU.
The print run is 50,000 pieces in souvenir packaging.
The commemorative coin will be available in the NBU's online numismatic store starting November 26, 2024, as well as from distributor banks (the list of which is available on the NBU's official website).
