Radio, Television and Communications Workers Day is celebrated in Ukraine on 16 November. It honours radio and TV staff, mobile operators, internet providers, postal workers and signallers. In wartime they keep the country connected: repairing towers after shelling, running on generators and broadcasting news when it matters most. Below are wishes for colleagues, engineers, presenters and signallers, plus poems and flower ideas. Other professional dates for the year are in our calendar of professional holidays in Ukraine.
Happy Radio, TV and Communications Day! Stable signal, high ratings and fast internet.
May the connection never drop — on air or in life. Happy holiday!
May every tower stand strong and every piece of news be good.
Thank you for keeping the country connected. Happy professional holiday!
For fellow communications staff
Colleagues, thank you for night-time repairs, fixing lines in the rain and patience with subscribers. You are true home-front heroes.
May the generators start on the first try and the network come back before anyone notices it was gone.
May every shift be accident-free and bonuses arrive as fast as data packets.
For radio and TV staff
May the airwaves always be clear, the ratings high and the viewers and listeners grateful.
Flawless diction to presenters, the best shots to camera operators and brilliant ideas to directors!
Thank you for the marathons, news and music that support us through the darkest nights.
Formal wishes
Dear radio, TV and communications workers! We sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday. Your work provides people with information and connection, and in wartime it saves lives.
We wish you stable work, safety, technological progress and peace.
For military signallers
Thank you to the signallers at the front: thanks to you orders arrive on time and comrades stay connected. Come home alive!
May your signal always be stable and your messages home arrive every day.
How to celebrate with the team
Thanks and certificates — recognise everyone's contribution, even with a few words at a team meeting.
Morning flowers for the office — a bouquet for the team or small arrangements on each desk set a festive mood.
A team photo — take a group picture to hang in the office or post on the website.
A wishes board — everyone leaves a few kind words for colleagues on sticky notes.
An informal get-together — lunch, a picnic or a board-game evening after work.
Toasts for the team celebration
Colleagues, here's to our profession! May our work bring not only a salary but also pride in what we do.
A toast to a team that isn't afraid of deadlines, inspections or Mondays. Cheers!
To the experience of those who've been here for years and the energy of those who've just joined. Together we're strong!
Here's to celebrating next year's professional holiday with new achievements and the same wonderful team!
What to write on a card with flowers
Happy birthday! May this bouquet remind you how many people love you.
For the best moments of the year — flowers, sincere words and hugs.
May every day be as bright as this bouquet.
Happy birthday! Wishing you health, peace and joy in the little things.
Sign the card by hand: even two lines in your handwriting mean more than a long printed message.
Communications Day poems
May the signal be clear and strong, May the airwaves never fall still, May your life be steady all along And your happiness grow at will.
You keep us connected through the night, Through air alerts and power cuts, May fate reward you with delight And open all the doors it shuts.
Flowers for Communications Day
An elegant bouquet in light shades suits a female presenter or editor at a radio or TV station, while a studio team will appreciate an arrangement that looks good on camera. An orchid with a balloon is an original gift that will lift the whole team's mood.
Postal workers have their own holiday too: World Post Day on 9 October.
