"
The Radio Awards has cemented itself as the longest-running and most prestigious recognition event for radio professionals in South Africa," says Taryn Westoby, head of events for Arena Holdings (formally known as Tiso Blackstar Group).
"Not only is it a credible, transparent and well-judged programme, but the awards gala dinner has become a highly anticipated opportunity for station managers, producers, presenters and their teams to come together, let their hair down and cheer themselves and their colleagues at one of the most significant celebrations of the year," adds Westoby.
"We are proud to continue recognising and honouring South Africa's outstanding radio talent. In doing so, we hope to inspire and encourage another record-breaking year of top-quality entries," concludes Westoby.
