All the winners of the Love Radio Awards 2013 have been announced at a Friday evening ceremony in Dublin, with iRadio taking home the most awards.
iRadio was named Creative Station of the Year, in addition to claiming two Golds and five bronze/silver medals.
UTV Radio Solutions came in second as far as number of awards goes – taking home five awards including three Golds. East Coast FM and RTE also got two Golds each.
Cork’s 96FM was crowned with five awards including one Gold whilst Classic Hits 4FM got four including a Gold.
Rothco, the international creative agency based in Dublin, won the main Grand Prix prize.
iRadio’s Programme Director Leigh Doyle told RadioToday: “It’s been another successful year for iRadio at The Love Radio Awards. To receive 13 nominations was great but to walk away with the most awards on the night was spectacular. What’s even more impressive is the fact that we secured the coveted ‘Creative Station Of The Year’ title. iRadio is moving into 2014 with some very exciting plans – all of which will be centred around our unique, creative and innovative approach.”
Speaking to RadioToday, National Sales Director for UTV Radio Solutions Brian McCarthy said: “We’re delighted to have won 5 love radio awards last night. It’s important to see great radio recognised and the love radio awards do a fantastic job of promoting all that’s good in our industry.
“I’m particularly happy and incredibly proud of out team for winning sales team of the year, it’s long overdue recognition for the great job they’ve done over the last few years. A deserved honour for a great bunch of people.
“The gold awards we won with Carat Ireland for The Budweiser Dream job campaign reward us for pushing the boundaries of how we use radio. The categories they won in “effectiveness” and “collaboration” show our ability to work with our clients to achieve brilliant results.
“It was a great night for UTV radio overall with Cork 96fm/ C103 and LMFM also winning awards as well as Galway Bay FM and Beat so congratulations to everyone involved.”
Here is the big list of winners, and congratulations to all.
