Winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards include one Aussie

The inaugural Canadian Radio Awards
have been announced by Broadcast Dialogue, with Aussie ex-pat Program Director Ronnie Stanton winning the PD of the Year award.
 
Dubbed “The Howards” after publisher Howard Christensen, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors who founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992 when he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.
 
Howard, who served as one of this year’s jury members, said, “I heard outstanding sound from the smallest of markets to the largest.”
 
Among the winners is Ronnie Stanton, well know here in Australia, who picked up the Howard for Program Director of the year.
