Cameron Horn – 11-time ACRA winner and now Production Manager at Gosford-based community radio station COAST FM 963 – has again been recognised for his outstanding work, nominated for Excellence in Production at the 2025 Australian Community Broadcasting Association Awards.

The winner will be announced later this month.

It comes hot on the heels of a Best Use of Music gong at the New York Advertising Festival Awards, plus three gold and six silver accolades at the International Communicator Awards.

The awarded commercials were produced for a pet crematorium and feature dogs, cats, birds and an elephant at a pet funeral, singing Morning Has Broken.

Cameron says “I wrote and produced the campaign, while COAST FM’s David Horspool (producer and sound engineer for Your Home with Sarah King) provides the voice of the church minister …. definitely not typecasting for Dave there!”

Cameron was also inducted as an official honoree at the prestigious International Webby Awards, for the Central Coast comedy podcast Hangin’ Out With the Old Fellas.

“This year, Hangin’ Out with the Old Fellas has been recognised internationally, for the episode Faster Higher Stupider – Festival of the Five Rings,” Cameron says.

“It’s a comedy take on the 2024 Olympics and has been judged in the top seven comedy podcast episodes worldwide.”

Recorded on the Central Coast using local talent, Hangin’ Out with the Old Fellas was recognised as Best Comedy Podcast in Australia and New Zealand in the 2024 Radio Today Podcast Awards.

“The podcast features the Attrick Brothers, Barry and Jerry, giving their somewhat confused twist on current affairs, all broadcast live from Spindly Pines Nursing Home sick bay,” says Cameron.

“Nothing is off-limits and nothing is accurate – and that’s a promise!”

Coast FM General Manager Sarah Warry says the awards come as no surprise.

“Cameron’s achievements this year follow on from 11 ACRAs and four previous New Yorkers awarded to him during his commercial radio career.”

“Cameron’s talents are internationally recognised year after year; we’re so thrilled to have him at Coast FM.”

Cameron’s radio production work can be heard every day on COAST FM 963.
