| − | 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.
| + | This is the general '''URY timeline''', arranged by decade. |
| | | | |
| − | == Trivia == | + | == 60s == |
| − | * 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.
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Award History ==
| + | * ''1960: The UK's first student radio station is founded as Crush Radio (but it doesn't legally broadcast for a while)''. |
| | + | * '''1967''': URY is founded as the UK's first ''legal'' independent broadcasting radio station, as Radio York under a test licence from the BBC. |
| | + | * '''1969''': Radio York is refounded as University Radio York and opened with a guest broadcast by John Peel. |
