RaW Talent Wins National Accolade
Students
from the University of Warwick will be broadcasting to the nation
after the radio station scooped a hat-trick of awards.
RaW
– University Radio Warwick – was voted best student radio station
in the country at the national Student Radio Awards ceremony in London
featuring many big names in the industry.
Along
with a glass trophy, the prize is to broadcast on Radio One for an
hour next year.
Individual
presenters also scooped awards as the station collected its first
honours since 1992.
Catherine
Nicholson was selected as the best female presenter, while the RaW
Dance Selector won the best show award.
The
winners are to get placements at Radio One.
 Station
manager Dan Page, pictured with Radio One presenter Emma B, said
everyone was on a “massive high” following the awards.
He
said:
”It’s
all down to hard work. We’ve never had so many entries before and
six entries got nominated. It is fantastic to win three prizes.
“This
has inspired a lot of people here to go on with it and try and get a
job in radio after they leave Warwick.”
RaW,
formerly known as W963, broadcasts on 1251AM. Previous presenters to
use it as a springboard for their career include Radio One’s Simon
Mayo, and children’s TV presenter Timmy Mallett.
