The winners for the Hospital Radio Awards 2014 have been announced at a conference and awards evening in Bristol at the weekend.
Hospital Radio Plymouth won Station of the Year, where the judges said: “In a league of it’s own. The ultimate in local, community radio – that community clearly being the hospital. The interaction from the wards is second to none, there’s a diverse range of music programmes and – it appears from this entry at least – the team are out and about at every event in the Plymouth area, painting pictures for the listeners, really making them feel a part of it, not missing out. Really, really good; a credit to Hospital Broadcasting.”
