“The 30-minute Siren Awards show will be packed with great content and will celebrate some of the best radio ads that have run in Australia this year,” said Ford Ennals, CEO of CRA, who’ll feature on the show with Ralph van Dijk, Chairman of the Sirens Creative Council.
Mitch Churi, host of The Night Show and co-host of The Pick Up on the KIIS network, says, “Nat and I are excited to co-host The 19th annual Siren Awards, which are the Aussie radio ad industry’s Oscars! There won’t be any envelope-gates or interminable speeches, but there will be recognition of the crème de la crème of radio ad creativity, with absolutely fantastic prizes.”
Nat Penfold, KIIS announcer and producer of the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show, adds, “I know from working with Kyle and Jackie O that our listeners are our friends. They engage with our socials, trust us and demand to be entertained. Great radio ads help us do that, and we can’t wait to showcase the best from across Australia.”
ARN will livestream the show from 12:30 pm to 1 pm AEST on Tuesday, May 30. Here is the link.
