Head of State and Government of Nepal expressed best wishes to Radio Nepal on its 75th Anniversary
President Ram Chandra Poudel has issued a message of congratulations on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Radio Nepal (Diamond Jubilee).

Radio Nepal is the state-owned Radio broadcasting organisation of Nepal. It was established on 2 April 1951. In 1951, Radio Prajatantra was transferred to Kathmandu at Singha Durbar by Tarini Prasad Koirala, where it took the name Radio Nepal and started regular broadcasting on April 2, 1951. A 250-watt short-wave transmitter was used. Initially, daily transmission lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Radio Nepal airs programs on shortwave, medium wave (AM) and FM frequencies. Regular broadcasts consume sixteen hours every day, including two hours of regional broadcasts. Public holidays feature an additional two hours. FM Kathmandu, the first FM channel covering Kathmandu valley and adjoining areas, was started in 1995 in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu. The Radio Nepal Broadcasting Act was enacted in 2014.
