André Kunz
André faces stiff competition in his category, but having to regularly think on his feet during one of the busiest and most demanding time slots in radio, he is certainly well prepared for the challenge.
Says André: "It is a great honour to be nominated in a category with such talented radio personalities. I was pleasantly surprised by my inclusion and am holding thumbs that OFM listeners will register and vote for me."
OFM Station Manager, Nick Efstathiou, says the station is delighted by André's nomination.
"André is deserving of this recognition. He has worked his way into one of the best breakfast seats in South Africa and makes engaging and entertaining radio on a daily basis. We are very proud that the industry has recognised his efforts and hard work."
