Radio Teesdale has been selected as the North East Station of the Year
(under 300,000) in the Radio Academy Nations & Regions Awards 2009.

These awards give an opportunity for stations with a Total Survey Area
(TSA) under 300k to be recognised in their branch and to qualify for
the 2010 Sony Radio Academy Awards Station of the Year. This is open
to all types of radio station - community, BBC and commercial.

Fred Marden, Chairman of the North East Radio Academy said, “The award
judges felt that the entry demonstrated strong commitment to and
understanding of its community, with great potential for growth and
development. Radio Teesdale broadcasts a great array of programme
content in many genres, all of which is highly local to their
broadcast area.”

The aim of the awards is to celebrate programming that caters for the
needs of a local or regional UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man
audience. Each regional branch awards one Nations & Regions Award to
the station that the judges feel demonstrated the most consistently
outstanding output.

Radio Teesdale Station Manager said, "We are delighted to receive this
award. It is a great honour for Radio Teesdale to be selected in this
way and to be representing the North East is the process to pick the
National Station of the Year in the  Sony Awards. Our members were
thrilled to hear the news.  It is a great testiment to the hard work
of our members and shows how community radio is having an impact in
our area."
