“This award is an incredible honour,” said Michael Byrne, CEO of WLR following the ceremony.
“It reflects the passion and dedication of our entire team who work tirelessly to provide Waterford listeners with top-tier content every single day. We’re deeply grateful to the IMRO judges for this recognition, and of course, to our listeners and commercial partners, who are at the heart of everything we do,” he added.
The award wasn't the only one picked up by WLR at the weekend.
