This is the first time the ‘Grand prix des médias’ has ever been bestowed upon a radio station and it is a great honour for RTL Radio. The two awards stand testament to the two years of constant success RTL Radio has enjoyed since its revival. RTL Radio regained its position at the top of the leaderboard in September 2006 and has never looked back since – it is pulling ever further ahead of its competitors and has become the station of choice across all areas of broadcasting, from information to entertainment.

The media eligible for this major prize are informative or editorial media, i.e. television, radio and the press. The nominations in the various categories are chosen by the editorial team at CB News, an industry magazine for the communications sector and the creator and organiser of the event. Using a permanent monitoring system, the team identifies and analyses the year’s main media events. The panel for the ‘Grand prix des médias’ is composed of around 15 key personalities from the media world. Previous winners of the award include Canal+ (2006) and the NextradioTV Group (2007).
