Jessica Soho's KMJS episode "Nickel and Dime" and Pia Arcangel are the only two Filipino finalists at the 2024 Association for International Broadcasting Awards (AIBs).

The "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" episode, which tackled the destruction of Homonhon Island in Guiuan, Eastern Samar due to massive mining, is shortlisted under the Sustainability category.

Arcangel is among the seven shortlisted journalists under the Presenter of the Year category. She is up against journalists from Al Jazeera English and CNA, Mediacorp Pte Ltd in Singapore. 

Hosted by the country’s most-awarded broadcast journalist, Jessica Soho, KMJS has been reaping awards left and right. It was most recently given the special citation in social media in the 12th PMAP Makatao Awards for Media Excellence for the "Paglaya sa Kadena" episode. Last year, it won its first World Gold medal in the New York Festivals for “Sugat ng Pangungulila (Wounds of Woes)." 

In last year's AIB, Arcangel was also shortlisted for the same category for Radio / Audio / Podcast for the podcast "Surprise Guest with Pia Arcangel."

She has been in the industry for more than 20 years, is currently seen in "24 Oras Weekend" and "Saksi." 

The winner of the AIBs will be announced on November 22, 2024 in London.
