Classic 1027 has entered the awards," says CEO Lyndon Johnstone.
"
OFM is proud to once again be recognised for the incredible content offering our loyal listeners get to engage with on a daily basis. The team is dynamic and passionate about what they do, and this kind of recognition is stunning," adds OFM’s Nick Efstathiou.
"Recognition follows reputation built on a winning culture where hard work lies at the core. I am super proud of every single nominee and the team that surrounds them. Thank you for your valued contribution to radio as a whole and congratulations to all nominees," concludes
Algoa FM managing director, Alfie Jay.
Winners in all categories will be announced at a gala dinner on Saturday, 13 April.
