The Winners 2012 > UK Station of the Year
BBC Radio 6 Music
What the Judges Said
"6 Music displays a confidence across its schedule that not only reflects a real passion for music but also a firm understanding of the audience they are broadcasting to. The clear bond shared by presenters shows a station that is enjoying what it does. This is the year that 6 Music has come of age and the judges felt this was reflected in the quality of the output. An outstanding entry.
"BBC Radio 2
What the Judges Said
"Radio 2 continues to be Europe's biggest station and the entry epitomised why. There were outstanding moments of key public broadcasting such as the children's writing competition on Chris Evan's Show. The range of output and the ease with which the station can switch from mainstream shows to specialist programmes or from music to speech, are to be commended. Radio 2 is an exceptional station and thoroughly deserves this nomination
"Kerrang! Radio
What the Judges Said
"The judges enjoyed the humour and energy that is heard across Kerrang's output. With a small team, the station still manages to achieve an ambitious sound whilst not losing sight of the musical passion and lifestyle of their audience. The judges were particularly impressed with the clear vision of the station ensuring a listen that brilliantly targets its audience.
