Sydney Talk station 2UE’s Breakfast presenter John Stanley took out the award for Radio Commentator of the Year at the Kennedy Awards for Excellence in NSW Journalism.

The Kennedy Awards recognise excellence in journalism in NSW.

“I work in a terrific industry with some very talented people and it’s such a privilege to be behind the microphone every day interacting with our audience.  Being recognised by a panel of your peers is a terrific honour,” Stanley said.

2UE General Manager Chris Parker said: “This is a fantastic honour for John who is a consummate professional. He has been pivotal in bringing a fresh, engaging perspective to our 2UE Breakfast audience which has now been recognised by the Kennedy Awards judging panel.”
