Commercial radio sector awards dished out
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 4 July 2014
So, it was the commercial radio sector’s big annual awards bash last night, aka the Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards, and what a night it was, people! What a night. People ate food. Awards were presented. Speeches were given. At least five people shouted “woo” at appropriate moments. Margaret Thatcher won a prize for having a marvellous funeral and Heinz scored themselves the all important Advertiser Of The Year accolade. Good times.
For those of you who missed all this revelry, here is a list of winners. And don’t worry, despite all the wondrous eating and presenting and speeching and wooing, the revealing of this list was the most exciting bit. So you can feel part of it all too.
