Radio waves will travel at the speed of light, just as all other electromagnetic (EM) waves do. This speed is 299,782,458 metres per second in a vacuum. The speed of EM radiation varies as the medium through which it is moving, and it will not move as quickly in any media as it does in a vacuum.

Radio waves can travel 300,000km per second. If someone was dialing from the moon to the earth, a signal would arrive in about 1.3seconds. The distance from the moon to the earth is 390,000km.

They travel at the speed of light becouse they are a type of light! (electromagnetic radiation to be exact)

But at different wavelength. Radio wavelength is between 1mm - 100km, visible light is between 380nm - 740nm

v = c/n (c is the speed of light and n is the refractive index of the media where a radio siganl is traveling).
