Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards
It’s CMW’s biggest night – the annual industry celebration that puts the “vent” in event. It’s a raucous red-letter date on the industry calendar that fuels feuds, creates friendships and gives props to the pioneers and builders of our industry. It’s also been the site of some legendary musical reunions.
2012’s Canadian Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame inductee is John Derringer, veteran Q107 personality and longtime Toronto radio announcer, who will receive the Allan Waters Broadcast Lifetime Achievement Award.
Acclaimed producer, engineer and artist Daniel Lanois along with concert connoisseur and Live Nation Canada ChairmanRiley O’Connor, will be honoured with inductions into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame.
Husband and wife duo Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk will be presented with the Allan Slaight Humanitarian Spirit Award in recognition of their longstanding commitment to charitable initiatives.
Attendees will be treated to special performances by Burton Cummings, Daniel Lanois, Raine Maida andChantal Kreviazuk.
