Bauer Media Scotland celebrate success at industry awards
Bauer Media Scotland is celebrating after picking up four awards at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards (ARIAs).
Scotland’s qualification for the Euros saw the Big Scotland Football Show collect a silver award for the Radio Times Moment of the Year. Decided by a public vote, the accolade recognised the overwhelming joy, emotion and tears of Cat Harvey, Ewen Cameron and Steven Mill when David Marshall saved that penalty.
Clyde 1 also won a silver in the John Myers Award for Best Local Station of the Year while Boogie in the Morning on Forth 1 collected a bronze in the Best Music Breakfast Show category.
The partnership between the Scottish Government and SAM Radio from Bauer Scotland was also awarded a bronze for the Best Commercial Partnership.
Graham Bryce, Group Managing Director, Hits Radio Brand Networks, said: “Radio has played an increasingly important role during the pandemic by keeping people connected and engaged as well as conveying important and essential information.
“This is well deserved recognition for the commitment of our teams who have worked incredibly hard to ensure that they deliver relevant and entertaining content to enrich the lives of listeners, and to be a familiar and reassuring presence during lockdowns.
“As well as being there during the more challenging times it was also very rewarding to be able to share the highs of Scotland qualifying for their first tournament in 22 years, and I’m sure that the outpouring of emotion in our studio matched that in homes right across the country.”
The ARIAs are the Oscars for UK radio and audio, recognising the individuals and teams who excel at their craft and produce the very best body of work in the world.
