Congratulations Winners!

Please join us in congratulating the winners, runners-up and finalists of the 2009 Radio And Production Awards! We welcome some newcomers to the trophy table and a couple of return winners as well. Newcomer Sideshow Mike Anderson picked up two trophies this year, his first… and second. Joe Meinecke’s Medium Market Promo trophy moves him into a 4th place tie for most trophies won. Sheldon Hovde repeats with another trophy this year, as does Chris Pottage! Other first-time trophy winners include Travis “JT” McGinnis, Paul Sakalas, Brad Lane, and Bob Johnstone. And while we tip our hats to this year’s trophy winners, there are no losers on this list. Getting to the finals puts your work in the top 50 of some of the best creative done worldwide in 2009. Our hats are off to you as well! Now, where’s the champagne?
