A lot of you regular readers are community radio presenters and producers. There aren’t too many opportunities to big up stations or presenters doing good stuff, but here’s one. The CBAA Awards will be announced at the annual CBAA conference (held in Alice Springs this year).

Categories:

  • Best New Program or Content Initiative (individual programs, a programming initiative, segment, or other forms of media content, such as podcasting, blogging, magazine articles)
  • Excellence in Community Participation
  • Excellence in Digital Media (digital broadcasting, web streaming, podcasting, blogging, digital video, general digital media content, etc)
  • Excellence in Training
  • Excellence in Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasting
  • Contribution to Local Music (Proudly Sponsored by APRA)
  • Excellence in Music Programming (Proudly Sponsored by PPCA)
  • Contribution to Indigenous Broadcasting
  • Excellence in Spoken Word, News and Current Affairs Programming (Proudly Sponsored by Deutsche Welle)
  • Most Innovative Outside Broadcast or Special Event Broadcast
  • Best Initiative to Build Station Capacity
  • Troy Garner Excellence in Sports Programming

Plenty of shows and ideas on offer at my station – FBI 94.5 in Sydney – could line up against those categories, and I’m sure at most stations around the country. Go ahead and nominate.

That's it. What Next?
