The 2015 ACRAs Finalists

The Finalists for the 2015 Commercial Radio Awards have been announced.

Congratulations to all and good luck!

We will see you on the big night at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre, October 10th.

Entries were received from 260 metro and regional stations across Australia. This year more than 200 ACRAs finalists are from country and provincial markets. CEO of Commercial Radio Australia, Joan Warner said; “The ACRAs are a much anticipated event within a highly competitive radio industry. The depth of talent each year across all areas of radio in Australia makes the job of the peer and industry judging panel very difficult.”
