These are the winners of the Ondas Awards in its 64th edition

In the field of fiction on television and film, the jury has distinguished the series 'I know who you are' (Telecinco) and 'Las Chicas del cable' (Netflix), among other productions. In radio, the jury wanted to have a special mention with the figure of the radio director.

The jury of the 64th edition of the Waves Awards awarded by PRISA through Radio Barcelona announced this Wednesday the winners of these prestigious awards. In this edition, more than 400 applications have been submitted from more than 15 countries around the world. The jury is made up of thirty national and international radio, television, advertising and music professionals.

Among the winners, the journalists Àngels Barceló, Isabel Gemio, Susanna Griso and Josep Cuní stand out. In the musical field, Ondas Jarabe de Palo and Alejandro Sanz obtained a special mention to Camarón de la Isla in a posthumous tribute on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his disappearance and Carlos Vives.

In the field of fiction on television and film, the jury has distinguished the series I know who you are (Telecinco) and The Cable Girls (Netflix), the actors Javier Gutiérrez and Josep Maria Pou and the actress Blanca Suárez.

The awards have recognized the work of the information services of radio stations in Catalonia for their coverage of the August attacks. In his opinion, “the work of all the Catalan radio stations during those fateful days constitutes the best example of the capacity for reaction, the rigorous response during many hours of live broadcasts and the radio's vocation for public service.” The good work carried out by the editorial staff of Catalunya Radio, Rac 1, SER Catalunya, RNE, Cope and Onda Cero is the recipient of this collective recognition, which can be extended to all local radio stations that informed their listeners with criteria of immediacy and rigor.

In radio, the jury wanted to have a special mention with the figure of the radio producer, a professional profile that brings together technicians of all levels and program makers. Without a doubt, a figure as essential as it is anonymous in the world of radio. From the other side of the fish tank in the studios, putting together the programs, perfecting the broadcast systems or guaranteeing the most complicated outside coverage, he is today placed in the public spotlight to receive the highest distinction in the world of radio. They guarantee that 23 million people can listen to the radio every day in Spain.

On television, Ondas Internacional is for the documentary The last men of Aleppo from the German television Südwestrundfunk, for its great documentary value and sensitivity in the treatment of the conflict in Syria.
