Presumably they weren’t nominated for their lie detector segment, but 2Day’s Kyle and Jackie O have nonetheless scored a berth in the finals for Best On-Air Team at this year’s Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAs). Others up for that award include Hamish and Andy; Merrick and Rosso and Kate Ritchie; Hughesy and Kate; Meshel, Ash, Kip and Luttsy. We have the full list of finalists.
The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Sydney on October 10.
Take 40 Australia” and Australian Idol host Andrew G will MC the event, for the second year in a row.
Organised by Commercial Radio Australia, on behalf of the radio industry, the national Awards include 32 categories, which cover all areas of radio broadcasting including news, talk, sport, music and entertainment. The ACRAs differ from television’s Logie Awards, in that they are peer judged with judging panels comprised of industry members. Winners are announced in each category across three areas: metropolitan, provincial and country commercial radio stations.
FINALISTS FOR 2009 AUSTRALIAN COMMERCIAL RADIO AWARDS (ACRAs)
