On-Air Personality of the Year:
(This award is for the TV or radio presenter/host who is really popular for his work. Their shows need not be of the highest quality, given the challenges of our environment, but must be of basic standard quality. The idea however is that the personality of the person shines through, and he is popular/loved for that fact, thereby becoming a role model for talent, hard work and positivity. Experience as a presenter/host is also relevant).
