Aiir backs Community Radio Awards to 2028

Community radio stations will see continued backing for their annual awards after Aiir extended its headline sponsorship to 2028.

The broadcast software company’s renewed support is intended to help organisers manage rising event costs and keep entry fees and ticket prices as low as possible.

The Community Radio Awards, which began in 2016, are independently run by directors from inside and outside the sector. Entries are judged by volunteers drawn from commercial radio, the BBC and academia, alongside former award winners.
