National Radio Station of the Year

Sponsored by:

Who can enter?
This category is open to any national radio station or radio brand which has broadcast music content during 2008, regardless of genre, geographical location or size. Candidates should note that this category is open to analogue, digital and online radio stations.

To reflect the changing industry, it is likely that some radio ‘brands’ may wish to enter the national category rather than just enter the regional category as an individual station, but they will need to submit separate entries. This category is now open to radio brands and those that have chosen to be measured by Rajar on a national basis.

What will the judges be looking for?

• Broadcast and promotional activity
• Digital/ online innovation
• Quality of content - including range, and frequency of updates
• Innovative programming ideas
• Creativity and ingenuity in reaching target audience using the resources available
• Quality of marketing - including branding of station, presentation of key DJs and efforts made to broaden the listenership
• Overall success of the station in achieving its objectives in terms of their music policy.
