Arqiva winners
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 June 2009
It was the commercial radio industry’s big night out on Friday, with the 2009 Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, which are a bit like the Sony Awards though the BBC can’t enter so commercial radio types generally have a happier night. Coming up, the full list of winners, but first some quotes from the boss of commercial radio trade body RadioCentre and the radio chief at sponsors Arqiva.
RadioCentre’s Andrew Harrison: “The Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards recognise the huge diversity of programming that commercial radio offers – these stations work incredibly hard day in day out to ensure their listeners hear great radio programmes – congratulations to all the winners”.
Arqiva’s Paul Eaton: “It’s great to be supporting these prestigious awards for the 10th year in a row. The number of submissions again this year has been very encouraging, and the level of expertise among all entries is forever increasing. Our congratulations go to all winners and Arqiva is very proud to help recognise the entire radio production chain and support functions”.
