"Sputnik invites you to join us for this 24 hour radio extravaganza, as we take forward the discussion about the importance of radio in our modern, global, and multipolar world. Listeners can join in the discussion online by listening to the broadcast through the Sputnik website and also by engaging with Sputnik’s social media platforms," Head of Sputnik International Broadcasting Anton Anisimov said.
Before the marathon begins, Sputnik will also be launching a special poll which will ask readers and listeners about the devices they use to listen to radio broadcasting. The results of this poll will be discussed during the marathon.
