The Academy of Country Music Awards presents the annual awards for radio awards, which are announced during a pre-televised ceremony. The full list of radio award winners was recently released. For the third time, the ACM National On-Air Personality of the Year Award went to Blair Garner for "After MidNite with Blair Garner."
Garner previously won the award in 2003 and 2005. His show brings in listeners during the late hours to the wee morning light, with over 260 affiliates. She brings a force to be reckoned with, being recognized as one of the Top 10 Most Listened to DJs in America.
