The category, which was introduced in 2020, aims to recognise individuals operating behind the scenes – the unsung heroes – for their contributions to radio in South Africa.
Taryn Westoby, head of Arena Events which owns the Radio Awards, says, “The success of radio stations often relies on the hard work and commitment of people who operate in the background, and who are generally not the familiar faces and voices that audiences come to know. They’re the individuals that keep the wheels turning and morale high and know how to get things done.”
The Radio Awards advisory board will adjudicate nominations based on the following criteria: credibility, fellowship, work commitment, and personal performance as an unsung hero.
Finalists in the Station Manager’s Choice category will be announced on the Radio Awards website, as well as direct notification to the relevant station managers.
The winner of the Station Manager’s Choice award will be announced at the 2022 Radio Awards event.
