South African radio's best were honoured at the sixth annual MTN Radio Awards on 18 April at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The evening was spectacular, with the winners undeniable proof of this.
Lance Rothschild, CEO of the MTN Radio Awards, said: "The increased support these awards enjoy mean that more stations are striving to make compelling and memorable content for their listeners. This augurs well for the radio industry and ensures that radio has a bright and sustainable future."
Chief Marketing Officer of MTN South Africa, Larry Annetts, joined in the enthusiasm of the evening by pointing out that "(t)he excitement and anticipation leading up to the awards presentation is indeed a vindication of the value that these awards bring to the radio industry."
