Hi gang.
I got some very, very surprising news this morning.
I was looking through the list of finalists for the 2011 ACRAs (Commercial Radio Awards) to see which friends of mine made it as a finalist this year.
Low and behold, I saw this...
BEST SPORTS EVENT COVERAGE
2010 VFL Grand Final: 3BA VFL Live, Power FM, Ballarat VIC, Grant Broadcasters NM
AFL Grand Final Draw; K-Rock Football, K-Rock, Geelong VIC, Grant Broadcasters NM
Buettner’s The Fastest Man in the World; Michael Buettner, 2GO, Gosford NSW, Southern Cross Austereo NM
2010 NRL Grand Final; 2GB, Sydney NSW, Macquarie Radio Network M
2010 AFL Grand Final; Mark Johnson, SEN, Melbourne VIC, Pacific Star Network M
2010 AFL Drawn Grand Final; Triple M Football, Triple M, Melbourne VIC, Southern Cross Austereo M
That means last years' grand final call of North Ballarat v Northern Bullants on 3BA Ballarat (using the 3WBC Commentary Team) has made it as a 'Non-Metro' Top 3 Finalist for an ACRA!!!!
I seriously had no idea we had been nominated, let alone a finalist!!!
STOKED!!!
Pete.
