TALKBACK radio veteran and 2CC drive presenter Mike Welsh will go head-to-head with colleague and breakfast presenter Mark Parton at this year’s Australian Commercial Radio Awards for the best provincial talk presenter.
“Welshy” has won the award six times and four times consecutively since 2007. This year he has been also nominated for best non-metro current affairs presenter.
His producer, Monica Masters, has been nominated for the second year in a row for best show producer – talk current affairs – provincial, an award she won last year.
She is up against Matt Mitchell, Parton’s former producer. Pete Curulli, from Mix 106.3’s “Breakfast with Pete and Biggzy”, has received a nomination for best provincial newcomer on-air and, also from Mix 106.3, Gerald (Kiwi G) Morunga was nominated for best provincial sports presenter.
104.7FM news presenter Kate Taylor was nominated for best news presenter for country and provincial.
Promotions manager for both 104.7 and Mix 106.3, Zak Davies received a nomination for best promotions director non-metro. 104.7 also received nominations in sales.
The national awards will be decided at a dinner on the Gold Coast on October 15.
