The decision has been made in light of the Government's declared state of disaster and the collective national efforts to combat the spread of Coronavirus Covid-19 by prohibiting events where more than 100 people are gathered.
Further information regarding access to the announcement will be shared in due course.
As planned, category finalists will be announced via the website and The Radio Awards social media channels (@SARadioAwards on Twitter and Facebook, using #SARadioAwards) at 10h00 on 18 March 2020.
Organisers have stated that:
While it’s unfortunate that it will not be possible to celebrate the success of local radio talent in person, we thank you for your understanding, and for playing your part in keeping the health of our fellow citizens top priority.
