The team also picked up the Outside Broadcast Award - for a broadcast marking the 10th anniversary of the Manchester bombing.

主播大秀 Hereford & Worcester added a Gillard to the Sony they won earlier in the year when they claimed the Social Action Campaign category for their mental illness project.

Another campaign winner was Liz Kershaw of 主播大秀 Coventry and Warwickshire. Her Liz'll Fix It project was the tops in Radio Promotion.

There were two awards for Outstanding Contributions to 主播大秀 Local Radio.
听
They went to Margaret Hyde, the Managing Editor of 主播大秀 Essex, whose distinguished career in Local Radio began back in June 1973 as a journalist at 主播大秀 Radio Merseyside; and to Paul Rowley of the Regional Political Unit whose reporting and two-ways on Westminster politics for the past 12 years have become by-words for accessibility and made him a well-known and admired voice throughout the Local Radio chain of stations.
听
The awards were presented by 主播大秀 Deputy Director-General Mark Byford.
听
Thirty-nine 主播大秀 Local Radio stations and services put forward 256 entries for the awards, which are named in honour of Frank Gillard, the founder of 主播大秀 Local Radio.
