RLQ’s Silver Celebrations

On Sunday, 25th July 2021, Radju Leħen il-Qala celebrated its 25th anniversary from its first radio transmission.

Radju Leħen il-Qala is the first Gozitan community radio station that acquired a permanent license to air on our radio frequencies from the Broadcasting Authority back on the 25th July 1996.

For this special occasion, the radio administration had prepared a series of celebratory events to commemorate this major milestone for our station. However, these had to be reduced and postponed due to the current global pandemic. Instead, on Sunday 25th July 2021, a thanksgiving mass was celebrated in the Qala Parish Church. Moreover, a special radio programme was aired on the same day with the participation of the members of the administration. During this programme RLQ took a trip down memory lane reminiscing about so many wonderful events that were experienced by many past and present administrations.

Throughout the years, this radio station continued to evolve with the building of its permanent studios in 2008 and the introduction of 24/7 audio visual live streaming services in 2009. Nowadays, 25 years later, Radju Leħen il-Qala continues to connect people all over the world. Its services are still essential and more so due to the current global pandemic.

The administration of Radju Leħen il-Qala would like to take this opportunity to thank all its equipe members, volunteers, listeners and benefactors – past and present – who through them has been able to reach such significant silver moment for our community radio station.
