Thammasat University Radio Station to Cease Operations After 61 Years
After over six decades of broadcasting, the Thammasat University Radio Station has announced it will officially end its operations on October 31, 2026.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Thammasat University Radio Station is set to conclude its 61-year legacy of broadcasting. The station has officially notified the public that it will cease all operations on October 31, 2026, marking the end of an era for one of Thailand’s long-standing academic media institutions.
For residents and long-term expatriates, this closure represents the loss of a significant cultural and educational voice that has served the community for generations. While the station has been a fixture in the local media landscape, the specific reasons behind the decision to shut down have not been detailed in the initial announcement.
For those interested in the history of Thai media or the university's public outreach, this development signals a shift in how the institution engages with its audience. At this time, it remains to be confirmed whether the university plans to transition its content to a digital-only format or if the station’s archives will be preserved for public access. Listeners and followers of the station are advised to monitor official university channels for any further updates regarding the final broadcast or potential future initiatives.
