Local Radio and the Independent sector pick up the Big Awards at the Arqiva supported ARIAS 2018
26/10/2018
Magic Radio picked up Gold for Best Commercial Promotion and Best New Presenter also went to Magic Radio's Ronan Keating. Best Community Programming was won by Absolute Radio's Frank Skinner in Conversation with Al Gore.
The Arqiva sponsored categories for Best Local Radio Show and Best Commercial Promotion were picked up by David Burns from BBC Radio Humberside and The Greatest Showman by Magic Radio respectively.
The Best National Station/Network of the Year went to BBC Radio 1, who also picked up Gold for the Best Station Sound with BBC Radio 1 Vintage.
Team of the Year went to Cash for Kids, Bauer Radio's network of local charities operating across 22 areas of the UK and Individual of the Year was handed to Paul Sylvester, Content Director at Absolute Radio. Both these categories were voted on by members of the Radio Academy.
The awards were hosted by Melvin Odoom and Pandora of Kiss FM, with live performances on the night from top artists including Tony Hadley and Sophie Ellis- Bextor, 808 State, Poppy Adjula and winners of Local Music Live, Cosovettes. The awards, organised by the Radio Academy and supported by LeedsBID (Business Improvement District), are the audio and radio industry's prestigious flagship awards.
A total of 23 awards were handed out, recognising innovation and excellence across all audio mediums and celebrating the very best of the industry.
Richard Johnston, Head of Commercial Radio for Arqiva said:
We were delighted to support the ARIAS again this year. It is very important to us to see the immense talent in the industry celebrated and the ARIAS provides the perfect platform to do just that. It was exciting to see such a wide range of winners, particularly from the local radio and independent sector congratulations to everyone involved and of course all of the winners!
Roger Cutsforth, Chief Executive of The Radio Academy said:
In another fantastic ARIAS ceremony, it was great to see the awards are no longer dominated by the big Networks, with the rise of the Podcast, the resurgence of the quality in local radio and the indies coming up hard on the rails. The ARIAS have this year proved that the best in innovation is happening outside London, on which note, we are delighted to be back in Leeds for the third year with our partners, LeedsBID at the first direct arena for another fantastic celebration.
