It is a great opportunity to recognise the depth of talent within the industry right across Australia.”
Organised by Commercial Radio Australia, on behalf of the radio industry, the national Awards include 33 categories, which cover all areas of radio broadcasting including news, talk, sport, music and entertainment. The ACRAs differ from television’s Logie Awards, in that they are peer judged with judging panels comprised of industry members. Winners are announced in each category across: metropolitan, provincial and country commercial radio stations.
