The
My Station category of the
Radio Awards has called on the public to support their favourite South African radio stations by voting for them
online. The 'My Station Competition' will run until Monday, 13 March.
The awards say that the voting results will determine the winners of two separate
My Station Awards, which include:
- the Most Votes Award, which will be awarded to the station that generates the highest number of online votes.
- the Most Loyal Listener Award, which will be awarded to the station that has the most votes as a ratio against their RAMS numbers.
Taryn Westoby, head of Arena Holdings' events division — who has managed the
Radio Awards since its inception in 2010 — says, "Winning a
My Station Award is one of the strongest signals that a radio station can send to advertisers about the influence it holds amongst listeners."
"We're therefore encouraging radio broadcasters to use the
My Station voting window as an opportunity to motivate their listeners to vote," adds Westoby. Previous
My Station Award winners include:
- Radio Islam
- Ukhozi FM
- Umhlobo Wenene
- Radio Pretoria
- Thobela FM
- Groot FM
- Radio 2000
- Mix 93.8 FM
- Hot 91.9

Radio Awards gala dinner takes place in Sandton
