ACE Radio Horsham and 3WM and MIXX FM general manager Brendan O’Loughlin said he was ‘delighted’ with the ‘excellent’ results for ACE Radio’s two Wimmera-based stations.
“It is the perfect combination of results for our stations, with MIXX FM as the station listened to most for under-40s, and 3WM as number one in the over-40s category,” he said.
“Radio listeners across the Wimmera have given us a stamp of approval that ACE Radio has provided the highest-quality product available in our listening area.
“Our team works extremely hard to make sure our listeners and clients have access to the best service available and these results are the perfect reward for the energy they put in.”
ACE Radio chief executive Mark Taylor said during a time when music streaming services, podcasting and other forms of audio had a lot of exposure, it was wonderful to see traditional radio within ACE Radio footprint continue to flourish.
“We have always been highly committed to supporting regional communities and it was humbling to see the local community listen in such big numbers,” he said.
