Being counted among the finalists of the Liberty Radio Awards, mark radio stations and presenters as being among the best of the best, said CEO of the awards, Lance Rothschild.
The finalists for the 2018 Liberty Radio Awards were announced late on Monday after the adjudication process was finalised this week, and the entries and allocated scores verified by chartered accountants, Mazars.
“The total audio of the entries, if played continuously, would amount to more than one week of non-stop listening,” said Rothschild. “We are really grateful to the panel of adjudicators who gave their time and expertise freely towards this process of determining who is making the best radio in South Africa. I am confident that the results emanating from the adjudication process will show that the best of the entries rose to the top in each of the categories,” he said.
“It is my fervent hope that these awards continue to motivate and inspire the radio industry to continue raising the bar, setting ever higher standards that will keep listeners fulfilled through compelling programming. This in turn will secure the future of radio as a vital source of entertainment, education and information for years to come,” Rothschild added.
Killy Bacela, divisional director of group brand and marketing at Liberty, congratulaed the finalists. Bacela said she looked forward to celebrating those who strive to make compelling radio; those who keep knowledge at close reach, and those who continue to elevate the standards on what real, credible news and stories should be. “Through our commitment to the Liberty Radio Awards, we hope to meaningfully contribute to the progression of the industry by applauding and rewarding those who continue to raise the bar through storytelling and entertainment,” she said.
Winners will be announced at the Sandton Convention Centre on Saturday, 14 April.
