成人快手
Radio Scotland's Stark Talk has won Gold in this year's prestigious
Sony Awards.
At
the awards ceremony in London last night (Thursday 8 May 2003),
Edi Stark's interview with mountaineer and author Joe Simpson won
unanimous support from the judges in the Speech category.
When
the announcement was made the judges said they were "unanimous
in their decision to award this programme the Gold."
They
added: "The interview form is extremely common on radio.
"This
compelling programme in that genre was as powerful as a drama, it
took you to the edge of your seat, lifting the form way above the
usual standard."
There
was further good news from Edi when she picked up the Silver Award
in the Speech Broadcaster category.
Speaking
after her double success, Edi said: ""I
am delighted for everyone involved in the programme that all our
hard work over the past year has been rewarded with such a coveted
award.
"It
is immensely gratifying to receive this honour, and particularly
pleasing that the judges bestowed us this accolade unanimously."
Radio
Scotland also scooped another Silver Award in the Competition category
when Asking 4 U was recognised for their series that provided
Scottish schoolchildren with an opportunity to ask their heroes
a whole range of interesting questions.
Maggie
Cunningham, Head of Radio Scotland, said: "It
is fantastic news for Edi, the Stark Talk team and the Radio Events
people behind Asking 4 U.
"Radio
Scotland has traditionally done well in the Sonys, and the fact
that we had seven nominations this year demonstrates the depth of
talent throughout the station.
"It
is wonderful to pick up Gold and two Silver awards at this year's
ceremony."
