THE call has gone out for entries to a media awards competition celebrating the best of commercial radio.
A deadline of March 9 has been set for entries to the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, now in their 17th year.
The categories welcome a new entry – Radio Station Event of the Year – but dispense with the ‘Digital Station of the Year’ category, reflecting, say the organisers, “the changing face of the industry”.
