2021 ACRA Winners

2GB breakfast host Ben Fordham has won Best Talk Presenter in the 32nd Australian Commercial Radio Awards (the ACRAS). Ben has now won this award six times but this is his first since moving into the breakfast slot, having previously won for his work in drive.

The Kyle & Jackie O Show won Best On-Air Team (Metro FM). The KIIS 1065 breakfast duo, who have been on-air together for 21 years, notched up a record seventh win in the category (2006, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018).

Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft was named Best On-Air Team in the Metro AM category. Adman turned broadcaster Howcroft only started his radio career when he joined Stevenson in August last year.

The black-tie ACRAS event was scheduled to take place in Sydney in October this year but was moved to February and subsequently cancelled by the Commercial Radio Australia board due to concerns around COVID.
