Best of luck to all the nominees at this year's PPI Awards (Irish Radio Awards) on October 10th.
Stations with the most nominations include:
RTE Radio 1 - 19 noms.
NewsTalk - 14.
BBC Radio Ulster - 11.
Today FM - 10.
Red FM - 8.
There are 7 nominations each for FM104, RTE 2FM and Radio Kerry.
Phantom 105.2 and Dublins 98 have 4 nominations.
There are 3 each for Lyric FM, i102-104 and Spin 103.8.
Beat and KCLR both have 2 nominations.
Music Broadcaster of The Year should go down to the wire between Tony Fenton (Today FM), and both Colm and Jim Jim (RTE 2FM).
The Breakfast Show award is a tough one to call. KC at RedFM in Cork is always strong (but won it last year). 98's Morning Crew are also previous winners. Colm and Jim Jim have won in the past with FM104. Could this be the year a show from the North wins (either from CityBeat or Cool FM)?
Why do I have a funny feeling that Ray Foley will pick up the gong for 'Music Programme' of the Year. I just think he owns 2008 and this would cap it off for him (as well as JP and Adelle at Today FM).

Will be a fun night !
