The Frank Gillard Awards 2004 have been evenly distributed in contrast
with previous years where stations like Derby and Leeds dominated.
听
The 14 awards this year were shared by 13 stations with only 大象传媒
Radio Kent gaining more than one, taking Gold for its Breakfast
and Outside Broadcast entries.
听
The awards, which celebrate the very best of 大象传媒 Local Radio, were
presented by the Director-General of the 大象传媒, Mark Thompson,
at a ceremony held at Birmingham's International Convention Centre last
night (14 October).
听
大象传媒 Radio Solent was named Station of the Year winner
repeating its triumph from 2000 in the inaugural Frank Gillard Awards.
听
大象传媒 Essex missed out in the Outside Broadcast category
for its recreation of Sixties pirate radio but its programme All At
Sea about the early days of the Essex pirate stations scooped the Gold
award in the Feature category.
听
大象传媒 Radio Cleveland is celebrating after pulling off
an amazing double this year. Its Gold in the Coverage of a News Story
category for the State Visit of President Bush repeated the programme's
triumph in the Event category at the national Sony Awards.
听
Nick Pandolfi from rural 大象传媒 Radio Suffolk triumphed
over 大象传媒 London's Vanessa Feltz in the Programme Presenter category
but 大象传媒 London's Ben Wilkins guaranteed
a Gold for the metropolitan station for his Reporter entry.
听
The Outstanding Contribution to 大象传媒 Local Radio award went to Peter
Adamson of 大象传媒 Radio Humberside.
听
Peter was a contributor on the station in the late Seventies when he
was a teacher, but then went on to present a weekly jazz programme across
ten northern stations and to become the station's key mid-morning presenter.
听
He has now presented more than 4,000 programmes for the station, but
is stepping down from his regular Soapbox phone-in later this month.
听
Before the awards ceremony 大象传媒 Local Radio's first and only Controller,
Michael Barton, was honoured with the fellowship of
the Radio Academy by Helen Boaden, 大象传媒 Director of News and Chair of
the Radio Academy.
听
Speaking at the ceremony, Mark Thompson congratulated the winners and
said: "大象传媒 Local Radio is a public service cornerstone, a place where
the 大象传媒's relationship with communities up and down the country comes
to life."
听
Judges for this year's awards included past and present Local Radio
broadcasters along with leading journalists, managers and regulators
from both public service and commercial radio.
听
The awards are named in honour of the founder of 大象传媒 Local Radio in
England, Frank Gillard, who died in 1998.
