Gareth Cliff nominated
Gareth Cliff also picked up a nomination for Best International Radio Personality and programme manager Tim Zunckel hopes to walk away with the award for the Best International Programme Director.
Gareth thanked his listeners on Tuesday for the nomination: "This is awesome for myself and for the station and I am absolutely thrilled.
"South Africa has the best listeners and they are so diverse and without them tuning in day after day, this nomination would not be possible. For this I thank them".
