[cma-l] The Radio Academy Nations and Regions Awards 2009

[Phil Korbel]

Dear all,

just to back up Richard's point, as someone who's also involved in the Sony
mechanism, the best of our output stands head and shoulders above most
mainstream radio and many judges see that.  The wins for prison radio last
year just proves that the Davids can clobber the Goliaths in this arena so I
can only urge you to get the pennies put together to get those bids in.

Dont be too put off by the 'live hour' recording vs the compilation - the
latter can outweigh the former.

One idea though folks - Student radio has its own awards, as do our comrades
in hospital radio, the prison radio folk have also just started a prize - do
we want a community radio awards scheme?

bests,

Phil
