Awards
Stables was the winner in the category Best Non-Breakfast Host or Hosts (Metropolitan) at the New Zealand Radio Awards in 2007. Stables created a stir with his offensive acceptance speech with remarks aimed at his former employer Canwest MediaWorks, Stables speech prompted the Radio Broadcasters Association to adopt a Code of Conduct for all attending the awards including acceptable guidelines for acceptance speeches. It was understood that Stables had been stood down from his job at ZM following the awards but this was untrue as Stables was simply on leave at the time of the awards and prior to the awards Stables did not return to work until late in July 2007. This is the only known award that Stables has won.
