At the Vatican on February 12, 1931, radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi spoke these historic words:
I have the highest honor of announcing that in only a matter of seconds the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Pius XI, will inaugurate the Radio Station of the Vatican City State. The electric radio waves will transport to all the world his words of peace and blessing.
Today Vatican Radio broadcasts on 5 continents, offering programs in 40 different languages produced by two hundred journalists from 61 different countries. In addition to shortwave radio transmissions, Vatican Radio offers programs via satellite and the Internet, adding Podcast distribution in 2005.
Vatican Radio is "The Voice of the Pope and the Church in dialogue with the world."
