Truth FM journalist O’Neal Robert and entertainment radio station Hot FM have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to broadcasting, as Orange Liberia honored top-performing media partners during an awards ceremony in Monrovia.

The event highlighted the vital role of radio in informing communities and shaping public discourse, with both the presenter and station receiving top accolades for excellence in programming and audience engagement.

Among the standout winners, talk show host O’Neal Robert was named Best Urban Presenter, while Hot FM Radio secured the award for Best Partnership Institution, underscoring the growing influence of radio as a key platform for corporate communication and public outreach.

Speaking at the ceremony, Orange Liberia’s Human Resource Manager, Supu H. W. Cole Sr., emphasized the company’s reliance on radio to reach audiences across both urban and rural areas.
