One of The Multimedia Group’s flagship programmes, the Super Morning Show (SMS) has won the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) Radio Programme of the Year for 2022.
This is the second time in three years that the socio-economic-political talk show has won the enviable award.
A citation by the Institute said, “Week in, week out, you have continuously kept your audience glued to their sets with a programme that leaves them rooting for more.
“With a blend of information, entertainment and recreation, you are able to serve your diverse audience with excellent ‘dishes’ that leave them yearning for more after the programme ends.”
CIMG acknowledged that the SMS remains a “Platform where the discussion of issues affecting the country are discussed with solutions proffered, and also to give a voice to the population by holding duty bearers accountable.”
It lauded the Show, which has “exhibited a good knowledge of your market by your ability to know what to serve them on a daily basis thus making it difficult for one to predict the service before it is delivered.”
“You have also used the programme to transform sectors of the economy, educate on good pronunciations and road safety tips, among others and these have become hallmarks that your patrons celebrate and tout you for,” the Institute added.
The 34th edition of the awards ceremony was held under the theme, ‘Using marketing as a tool for economic recovery.’
Bill Barr appeared before House Oversight Committee investigators as part of its probe into the federal government's handling of Jeffrey Epstein case.

Fortunately, the Spotify Wrapped data for the entirety of Montreal has also been revealed, and it's almost guaranteed to make you feel better about your own lists.</p><p>Here's a closer look at Montreal's favourite artists, songs and albums of 2024.</p><h3>Montreal's Top Artists of 2024 on Spotify</h3><br/><ol><li>Taylor Swift</li><li>Drake</li><li>Morgan Wallen</li><li>Travis Scott</li><li>Zach Bryan</li><li>Future</li><li>The Weeknd</li><li>Kanye West</li><li>Eminem</li><li>Post Malone</li></ol><div><p>Montreal, we've got some explaining to do. Spotify has handed us a mirror in the form of the top artists we streamed in 2024, and it's fair to say there's a lot going on. Let's unpack this lineup because it's giving zero consistency—but we kind of love it.</p><p>First up, Taylor Swift. Obviously. It's not a 2024 Spotify Wrapped without Miss I'll-Write-Your-Entire-Diary. Whether you were belting "All Too Well" (20-Minute Subway Edition) on the Orange Line or dissecting her anthology like it was a sacred text, Taylor had us deep in our feels. She's unsurprisingly the emotional glue holding this chaotic list together.</p><p>Then we've got Drake—classic. Whether it's pre-drinks, late-night Ubers, or your "gym grind" playlist, he's always there. He's basically the musical poutine: reliable, comforting, and maybe a little too much if consumed in excess.</p><p>Then here comes Morgan Wallen, our unexpected third-wheel. Montreal, are we a little <em>country</em> now? Be honest. We've been boot-stomping and two-stepping to "Last Night" like it's our secret guilty pleasure. Add Zach Bryan to the mix, and it's clear: we're not just dipping our toes into country—this is a complete yeehaw takeover.</p><p>This top 10 is chaotic, emotional, and pretty on-brand for Montreal. Let's keep it weird.</p></div><h3>Montreal's Top Songs of 2024 on Spotify</h3><br/><ol><li>"Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone</li><li>"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey</li><li>"Lose Control" by Teddy Swims</li><li>"I Had Some Help (Feat. Morgan Wallen)" by Morgan Wallen, Post Malone</li><li>"Stick Season" by Noah Kahan</li><li>"Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter</li><li>"Who" by Jimin</li><li>"Too Sweet" by Hozier</li><li>"Austin (Boots Stop Workin')" by Dasha</li><li>"Last Night" by Morgan Wallen</li></ol><div><p>Let's get into the songs. "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone is the top-streamed track in Montreal? OK, it's a vibe, but we didn't have "Montrealers getting their emotional ballad fix from a TikTok sensation" on our bingo card.</p><p>And "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey? Who is Shaboozey, and how did he infiltrate our playlists? I guess we've been feeling some kind of way because this year's music feels like a mash-up of heartbreak, high-energy chaos, and "help; I'm spiralling."</p><p>Also, a major shoutout to "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan for becoming a core personality trait. That song hit like a crisp autumn breeze, and apparently, we couldn't get enough. </p><p>And let's not forget Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" because nothing screams "Montreal chic" like a caffeine anthem.</p></div><h3>Montreal's Top Albums of 2024 on Spotify</h3><br/><ol><li><em>One Thing At A Time</em> by Morgan Wallen</li><li><em>THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY</em> by Taylor Swift</li><li><em>Stick Season</em> by Noah Kahan</li><li><em>Fireworks & Rollerblades</em> by Benson Boone</li><li><em>HIT ME HARD AND SOFT</em> by Billie Eilish</li><li><em>Short n' Sweet</em> by Sabrina Carpenter</li><li><em>F-1 Trillion</em> by Post Malone</li><li><em>UTOPIA</em> by Travis Scott</li><li><em>WE DON'T TRUST YOU</em> by Future</li><li><em>Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going</em> by Shaboozey</li></ol><p>Morgan Wallen again! Are we OK? This guy had us yeehaw-ing our way through the year and it looks like our country-core era is here to stay. Apparently it's contagious too, because even Zach Bryan is along for the ride.</p><p>Speaking of genres, this list is a straight-up personality crisis. One minute, we're vibing to Taylor Swift, and the next, we're headbanging to Travis Scott's UTOPIA. Then we're crying in the shower to Billie Eilish. Pick a lane, Montreal.</p><div><span class="redactor-invisible-space"></span></div><p class="">So, Montreal, what does this say about us? Maybe we're unpredictable. Maybe we're emotionally messy. Or maybe we're just trying to find a soundtrack for life's chaos. </p><p>Either way, you've got to admit, this Spotify Wrapped is kind of on-brand. Let's do it all over again in 2025.</p><p><em>Love this?
