The Radio And Production CD

March 2009

RAP Awards TrophyWelcome to the March 2009 R.A.P. CD! As we do every year, this year's March CD is filled with the Finalists of the 2008 Radio And Production Awards. A big congratulations to all who made it to this level! Now, Radio And Production subscribers have the privilege of casting the votes to decide who will take home the trophies this year. We'll announce the winners next month!

There is no other radio production awards competition where subscribers of a publication or service are granted the privilege of casting the votes for the winners. It is usually a small group of people, all from the same city and in the same room, who pick the winners in similar competitions. Winners of the Radio And Production Awards will instead be selected by their peers from all over the world. We believe this method of voting brings a great deal of prestige and validity to this competition because there is really nobody out there who knows more about what goes on in our studios than we do. Good luck to all!
