Scott Mills beats Chris Moyles to win top radio award
Scott Mills has beaten Chris Moyles to take one of the top prizes at this year's Sony Radio Academy awards.
The 36-year-old won gold for music radio personality of the year with the Radio 1 breakfast show DJ finishing in second place.
Zane Lowe won two golds, picking up music broadcaster of the year and best specialist music programme for his evening show.
It's a repeat of his double win at the Oscars of the radio industry in 2006.
He said: "One thing I never said before in winning these, because I was young and stupid and nervous, is thank you to the people who vote and the listeners."
The 大象传媒 Radio 1Xtra breakfast show with Trevor Nelson & Gemma on Radio 1's digital sister station picked up the silver award for breakfast show of the year with Trevor Nelson also winning a special gold lifetime achievement award.
The 45-year-old was serenaded by the London Community Gospel Choir with Now That We've Found Love as he was presented with his trophy.
The DJ, who received the third standing ovation of the evening, said: "Wow!, I'm in shock. Before I came here today, my mum got the all clear for cancer. So I've won already. My mum's alright. That's all that matters."
Under-threat station 大象传媒 6 Music won two awards with ex-Pulp man Jarvis Cocker picking up the rising star award for his Sunday show, while 6 Music's Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish won the best comedy prize at London's Grosvenor Hotel.
Another station threatened with the axe under a 大象传媒 review also won a prize, with Radio 1 DJ Nihal handed the best speech programme prize for his afternoon show on 大象传媒 Asian Network.
He defended the station while accepting his award.
He said: "The 大象传媒 Asian Network is something which is very close to my heart. I love the 大象传媒 and I just hope the 大象传媒 will stop bending over to politicians because it deserves to be left alone."
