Below is the citation that came after the award:
“Your pedigree as a programme that leaves your listeners captivated and rooting for more was not lost on your panel of evaluators, who put you ahead of your peers for this going.” “With an aim to challenge conventional norms in the industry and re-invent what radio should be like, you have created a compelling and proactive must-listen-to talk show, which resonates with people with different listening preferences i.e. sports, politics, religion and entertainment.” Your listeners are particularly thrilled with the aspect of your show which revives cold cases and prompts duty bearers to action where they have been negligent. Most refreshing is the fact that you base your ever-captivating daily packages on feedback from your patrons. You have been exemplary in your display of leadership, influence and impact for which reason you”.
