Kukësi speaks to you..". This sound signal that spread on October 16, 1959, from four loudspeakers, which hung in the trees of the old town of Kukës, opened the way for a radio, which in its long life would become a legend of information in the Albanian language. Sigla, which still accompanies the mornings of thousands of listeners, has not stopped in these 45 years. This radio affirmed the values ​​of preserving the national sense of language, culture and history, especially among the Albanians outside the borders in Kosovo and Macedonia, for whom this radio station was established, which would later be identified with the city of Kukës itself. In the small town, people who had never listened to the radio before were surprised when the wave of Radio Kukes came from the speakers in their hearths, which became an inseparable part of their lives. The beginning was quite natural. An improvised program, a tribune where ex-president Haxhi Lleshi climbs, to cut the ribbon was the day of the launch of this radio, which was the second in the country, in terms of importance and number of listeners, after Radio Tirana. The city and the district of Kukës have their life in this radio, since 1959 until today.
