3AW Melbourne has been recognised as a leader in Australian radio by winning big at the industry’s night of nights.

Mornings host Neil Mitchell took home two of the most prestigious awards at the Australian Commercials Radio Awards at the weekend, Best Talk Presenter and Best Current Affairs Presenter.

And top-rating 3AW Breakfast duo Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft were named Best On-Air Team (AM), the second time they have collected the award in two years together.

Neil Mitchell said it was humbling to be recognised for work across a period when listeners leaned so heavily on radio.

“Over the past two years talk radio in Australia has had one of its finest hours,” he said.

“People needed us through these tough times and right across the country we stood up. It was a privilege to be part of that and humbling to be recognised in this way.”

It was part of a record-breaking night for Nine Radio, which scored nine gongs across its network.

“This is a record number of wins for the teams across 2GB, 3AW, 4BC and 6PR, and is testament to the incredible calibre of people we have both on and off air, who continue to set the news agenda and drive it forward every day – they’re the best in the business,” Nine Radio Managing Director Tom Malone said.

“I’m incredibly proud of all of our winners and nominees. They live and breathe our live and local strategy, which is clearly resonating with Australians. They work tirelessly to put our listeners first, provide them a safe and trusted source of information, and bring the very best news, sport, entertainment, weather, traffic and talk to our local communities across the country.”
