On May 20, 1926, the first radio broadcast took place in the country, and since then, Radio Day has been celebrated in Venezuela.

This historic event was carried out through the Ayre radio station , which transmitted in modulated amplitude (AM), for the city of Caracas during the regime of Juan Vicente Gómez.

The first programming began with comedy, news from El Nuevo Diario and piano music. Later, radio soap operas and sports were incorporated.

While the evening program was based on the music of the band directed by Carlos Bonet and a Creole orchestra under the direction of Maestro Pedro Elías Gutiérrez.

It was on June 6, 1934, after the creation of La Voz de Carabobo , that radio stations began to be founded in the main cities of Venezuela.

With the arrival of the Bolivarian Revolution, Commander Hugo Chávez gave himself the opportunity for people to express themselves with the creation of more than 300 community radio stations.
