ony Radio Academy Awards

The UK's most prestigious radio industry awards, the Sony Radio Academy Awards are supported by the Radio Academy. Often referred to as 'the Sony Awards' (after their principal sponsor), the awards celebrate everything from the biggest and best national radio shows to small shows by local stations.

The first ceremony took place in the spring of 1983, at a time when there were just 35 commercial radio stations and 4 BBC Networks. Among the first Gold winners were Terry Wogan and Sue MacGregor, Radio Clyde’s Richard Park and Radio City’s Clive Tyldesley.

Since then, radio services have evolved significantly and continue to do so across commercial radio, BBC radio, community radio, internet radio and other digital platforms.

Each year, entries are submitted into the Awards for consideration as Gold, Silver or Bronze winners. It’s a process that continues to recognise the creative talents of journalists, writers, producers, performers and broadcasters, covering the wealth of UK radio output from speech and drama through to news, comedy and of course music. Reflecting the triumphs and developments of the current radio landscape, the Awards also aim to identify future leading practitioners and celebrate lifetime contributions.
