MORE acceptance speeches you didn’t hear at the ACRAs

17 October 2011 · News

They run a tight ship at the ACRAs. Unless you are inducted into the Hall of Fame or win one of the two top categories for Talk or Music presentation, you are unlikely to be allowed to utter a word of thanks. Instead you’re asked to show your gratitude by not holding up the show. Shake the host’s hand, pose for one second while they snap your picture and move on. Now radioinfo gives you the chance to hear what the winners might have said had they been given the chance.
