2024 CBAA Community Broadcasting Awards Winners

This year’s Community Broadcasting Awards were an exciting one for the sector, as we marked the 50th anniversary of both the CBAA’s formation and the birth of community broadcasting in Australia. We also marked the revamp of our awards, with a format better suited to capturing the diversity of our sector. Congratulations to everyone nominated, the finalists and of course the winners.
