Student Radio Awards

The Student Radio Awards is an annual event hosted by the Student Radio Association. Every year, URY enters itself for several different awards, sometimes winning.

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.
