Predictably Southern Cross Austereo won line honours with a haul of 29 ACRAs, more than double DMG with 14. Next best was Grant Broadcasters with 9. SCA’s single biggest winning market was the Gold Coast, with 6 ACRAs to SCA’s two stations in that market.
But on handicap, dividing the wins by the number of stations owned, the winners, in a tie are MRN with four ACRAs from just two stations, 2GB and 2CH. if you don’t count their 4ZR mining network. And Hot Tomato with two wins from just one station.

Things even up a little between SCA and DMG when you add in Gosford on the NSW central coast which is the only non-metro market where the two networks compete. There SCA’s Sea-FM was awarded four ACRAs to DMG’s Star 104.5’s three.

Love a good stat, and always love the ACRAS. This years was one of the best organised ever and fantastic to see the growth in participation by everyone in the business, well done to CRA and the judges. Just a small correction you have SCA as having 140 stations, it in fact has 78 commercial radio licences including the Canberra joint venture with ARN.
