I would like to congratulate Bongani, Jane and Simon for their outstanding achievements. These industry awards are testament to just how dedicated our team is to producing compelling content and great radio.”

The station was nominated in no less than ten nominations, including being short-listed as a nominee for Station of the Year in the commercial category.
