== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* URY regularly loses out to Best Station because URN claim to be better. The majority of the committee justify this with Nottingham being significantly larger, URN having a lot more money, and a part time staff member to run it.
* URY's very own [[Coco Cole]] was one of the Voices of the Awards in 2012.  A small amount of gratification was to be had when she eventually had to read out URY's Best Technical Achievement submission name.
* In 2013, URY was joint first in Most Nominations with Fly FM, and Most Awarded with Fly FM and URN.
* Harry Whittaker was the first person in living Student Radio Association history that has received 3 nominations in a single year.
* In 2018, the team behind URYspy won three SRAs and were invited to speak at that year's RadioTechCon
* In 2020, URY received its highest number of nominations recorded on this wiki, and the highest number of wins.
* In 2020, URY won Best Station for the first time in ten years, after being nominated for the first time in eight years.
