The first prizes of the Spanish Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences. It will be on October 30 in Logroño, coinciding with the celebration of Radio Day. This festivity was already established in 2008, by agreement of the broadcasting sector, and this Radio festival was then celebrated in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid). On that occasion, it was a tribute to the famous radio drama The War of the Worlds, by Orson Welles, taking advantage of the commemoration of its 70th anniversary.

It is worth highlighting the support of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja, which at a meeting of its Governing Council, held on February 29, 2008, expressed its adhesion to the initiative of the Spanish Radio Academy to establish October 30 as World Radio Day.
