5fm Receives Nominations For Urban Music Awards

Founded in 2003 in the United Kingdom, expanding into the USA in 2007, the Caribbean in 2008 and Asia in 2009, the awards have now expanded into South Africa with the mission to elevate South African music, musicians, producers, DJs and artists to the global stage — bringing South African music to the world, says 5FM. The awards that 5FM has been nominated for comprise:

• Best South African Radio Station: 5FM
• Best South African Radio Show: The Roger Goode Show on 5, and 
• Best South African Radio Show: 5 Hip Hop Nights.

5FM and Good Hope FM's Business Manager, Masi Mdingane, says, "We are thrilled by the UMA's expansion into South Africa, and even more so by our three nominations. 5FM has always been known as the hotspot for all things youth in South Africa, the driving force behind every conversation that matters to young movers and shakers, as well as a launchpad for Mzansi's hottest new talent. The recognition by the UMA shows that SA music is making waves globally, Ampli5ed by 5FM."

5FM concludes that fans have the chance to vote for their favourite nominees until midnight on Friday, 2 May. To vote, users must register their profile on www.telephonos.com and follow the link available here.
