Affable MC and host of Starr FM’s Starr Drive Giovani Caleb, was last night October 28, named Radio Late Afternoon Show Host of the Year at the prestigious Radio and Television Personality (RTP) Awards which came off at the Accra International Conference Centre.
A night dominated by the Bola Ray-led EIB Network also saw the likes of Nana Aba Anamoah, Kweku Obeng Adjei, Jeshron Okyere, Anita Erskine, Kafui Dei, and Ultimate FM’s Mr Kaxtro all walk home as winners. The media empire took home 14 laurels in all.
Giovani, a pioneering force among the new generation of broadcasters, especially since taking over from veteran Bola Ray as drive-belt host a year ago. Over the years, he has built a reputation as a powerful voice in the Ghanaian media space, having taken on such duties as radio host, programmes manager both at Y FM and Live FM, MC of MTN Hitmaker, brand ambassador for Malta Guiness among other things.
He beat competition from co-host Anita Erskine, Lexis Bill (Joy FM), Antoine Mensah (Live FM), And Abeiku Santana (Okay FM).
