Sydney’s WSFM breakfast duo Jonesy & Amanda have won top prize at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards.

Brendan Jones and Amanda Keller picked up best on air team in the metro FM category.

Keller said: “To get industry recognition for the hard work we’ve put in over many years means a lot, I haven’t been this excited since the Ladybirds won the under 11 netball grand-final. Our production team are the best in the business and our show is an important part of our audience’s lives, what could be better than that?”

Meanwhile, Kyle Sandilands also won again, with The Kyle & Jackie O Show picking up best networked program.

GetReal…Love him or hate him Kyle and Jackie O is by far the most entertaining breakfast radio on the Fm band by far. Next time if you are going to post negative remarks at least have the audacity to put your name to it!!!!

@Jason

Doesn’t detract from the fact that Kyle is a public disgrace….. oh, and Amanda and Jonesy won the category you mentioned….. they are a quality act. Is that positive enough for you Jason? Kyle Sandilands brings lowest common denominator radio to a new low….. hence the name Jason,,,,,, GET REAL!

I always thought former Reserve Bank governor Bernie Fraser would’ve made good radio….
