HamishandAndyThe Austereo duo of Hamish and Andy dominated the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in a ceremony which snubbed stablemate The Kyle & Jackie O Show despite it having previously had a strong presence on the shortlist.   

The shortlist had been drawn up prior to the scandal of Kyle & Jackie O’s notorious lie detector segment, while the final round of judging coincided with the furore.

Hamish & Andy won the top prize of best on air team along with best networked program, best station promotion, and best multimedia execution. The show’s Sam Kavanagh won best show producer.

Meanwhile, 2GB’s Ray Hadley won three awards.
