Chair of the IMRO Radio Awards committee, Chris Doyle, said: "Radio has had some of its finest moments over the last twelve months.

"We are delighted to celebrate the work of all those involved in the industry this year as much as any other year.

"We’ve shared the good news and the bad news stories, but we've always been there for the listeners."

Chairperson of awards title sponsors IMRO, Eleanor McEvoy, added: "In the bizarre times of the COVID-19 pandemic, radio has kept us entertained, kept us informed and kept us sane.

"We now have an obligation to keep everyone safe, so we are very much looking forward to taking the radio awards online on October 2nd to celebrate the excellence and creativity of broadcasters from right throughout Ireland.

"We would like to congratulate those of you who have been shortlisted and we wish you the very best of luck for the awards ceremony."

And Michael O’Keefe, chief executive of sponsor Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, said: "The BAI is once again delighted to support the annual IMRO Radio Awards.

"2020 has seen the most challenging times for the radio sector for many years.

"It is to the tremendous credit of the sector that it has continued to deliver top quality programming to its listeners throughout the COVID-19 pandemic".
