Ed Kavalee, Dylan Alcott & more radio folk take home 2019 Logies
The world of radio was well represented at the 61st Annual TV Week Logie Awards on Sunday night.
Although WSFM’s Amanda Keller was beaten to the Gold Logie by Tom Gleeson, there were still plenty of radio personalities who went home with trophies.
Hit Network host Dylan Alcott was recognised for his work on ABC music TV show The Set and Invictus Games Tonight with the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent.
Alcott’s victory speech saw the presenter address the importance of representation on television, and he revealed he used to hate being in a wheelchair.
