There was also praise for the industry from President Michael D Higgins.
In a video address opening the ceremony, he paid tribute to "the immense and splendid power of radio."
He also sent his best wishes to all those nominated, and spoke of "the many talented people who continue to serve our communities through broadcasting."
The president said the awards were an "appreciation of the flexibility and creativity" demonstrated by presenters and technicians in meeting the challenges of making radio during the pandemic.
