Sony Triumph for Central FM

A Scots local radio station was among the winners this evening at the UK's most prestigious radio awards, the Sony Radio Awards.

Central FM received a gold in the category specifically for stations broadcasting to fewer than 300,000 adult listeners.

Meanwhile, for the other Scottish shortlisted entries, it was to be no better than either silver or bronze, including a bronze for BBC Radio Scotland's Another Country, in the Specialist Music Programme category. There was a bronze too for Radio Clyde, in the Best Live Event Coverage category, for its shows from the T in the Park music festival.

Scots broadcaster, Nicky Campbell, took silver – along with his recent BBC Radio 5 live breakfast show co-presenter, Shelagh Fogarty – in the Speech Radio Personality category. But there was to be gold for the whole of the 5 live breakfast team in the Breakfast Show of the Year (broadcasting to upwards of ten million people) category.

And Moray Firth Radio's Christmas Toy Appeal took bronze in the Best Single Promo/Commercial section.
