Local Radio Station receives 10 nominations for the 2017 Liberty Radio Awards

By

Algoa FM has been nominated in an unprecedented 10 categories in the 2017 Liberty Radio Awards.

Established in 2010, the awards recognise excellence in radio across South Africa.

Daron Mann, who has twice before won the award for “best breakfast presenter,” has again been nominated in this category.

Mann, together with co-hosts Charlie T, Lee Duru and producer Cornelius Poisat, has also been nominated in the category “Breakfast Show” for the DMB.

Wayne Hart has been nominated in the category, “Afternoon Drive Presenter.”

The Algoa FM Top 30, also hosted by Hart, has been nominated in three categories, namely: “Daytime Show,” “Music Show” and “Weekend Show.”

The Algoa FM Top 30 has also previously won an award for best music show.

“I’m absolutely stoaked for my team,” says Algoa FM’s Operations Director, Alfie Jay.

“We’ve been so focused on our audience and it is truly humbling to receive such esteemed recognition.”

The Algoa FM Big Walk for Cancer has received two nominations under the categories, “Community Project” and “Promotions/Stunt Event”.

“It’s a great accolade for a fantastic event that is entrenched in the hearts and minds of our community. We’re extremely happy with the nominations,” says Toinette Koumpan, Algoa FM’s Marketing Manager.

We also received two nominations for the Algoa FM App launch under the categories, “Multi-Channel Promotion” and “Promotions/Stunt Event”.

“Our nomination for “Multi-Channel Promotion” is a big deal to me as it talks directly to how effective we are in the multi-media space,” says Jay.

Finally, Algoa FM has been nominated twice in the category: “Promotions/Stunt Event”. “This effectively means we are competing against ourselves in the category,” says Jay.

The winners will be announced at the Liberty Radio Awards Banquet on the 22nd of April at the Sandton Convention Centre.
