We’ve been following the Sony Radio Awards all night. Here’s our highlights. Read more here.
7.12 – The webcast has kicked off. A nice little mention too.
7.24 – JK and Joel are said to be DJing after the awards, until 2am. How will they manage doing their show tomorrow morning at 4am?
8.04 – Silver Award for ‘Bare All 06 – Safer Sex Campaign’ for the Community Award.
8.18 – Annie Nightingale presents an award. Looking stunning!
8.36 – Zane Lowe loses the gold for Music Programme Award to Mark Radcliffe.
8.50 – Carol Vorderman embarrasses Chris Moyles with tales from the local radio days.
9.03 – The BBC have received 12 awards already.
9.10 – ‘Put them lips away Jo Whiley!’ – one for innuendo bingo from Steve Lamacq
9.21 – Worst dressed of the night? It seems to be Nicky Campbell. Rumoured to be wearing tartan trousers.
9.40 – Mark Chapman has just e-mailed in a question for John Humphries on the webcast. We knew Chappers was a geek like us…
9.47 – Not to be bettered, I just had my question asked to John.
10.04 – After the longest food break in award history, it’s part two!
10.20 – Music Broadcaster of the Year saw Jo Whiley get snubbed. Steve Lamacq get a silver award for 6Music, and Colin Murray got a gold award.
10.26 – Time for Scott’s category. Only a bronze for Scott Mills, PM on Radio 4 takes the gold. Robbed? We think so! Had a feeling that wasn’t going to go Scott’s way when the high brow celebrity walked out to present it!
10.37 – Westwood gets a bronze for specialist music programme award. Bobby Friction picks up Gold for the Asian Network.
10.40 – Ah the Entertainment Award. Here’s where Moyles can bring it back for Radio 1? Clearly not. Moyles is snubbed, with Evans picking the gold. Evans also picked one up for music… random!
11.00 – UK Station of the Year. The final nail in the coffin. It goes to Classic FM.
11.01 – It’s become tiresome to watch now. What a random night, and a random affair. Rather predictable after part two as well. Thanks for reading and chatting on the forum tonight! Just before switching off 11.18 – a mention about our disappointment!
