Nominations
for this year's Frank Gillard Awards, which recognise excellence
and achievement in BBC Local Radio, were announced today (10 September
2002).
Leading
the hunt for gold this year is BBC Radio Leeds with an unprecedented
seven nominations, followed by BBC Radio Cleveland and BBC Three
Counties Radio each with three nominations.
One
of the BBC's smaller stations, BBC Radio Jersey, has achieved its
first ever nomination, in a joint entry with the Special Features
Unit in the Social Action category.
BBC
Radio Newcastle also receives its first nomination, in the Outside
Broadcast category.
Contesting
the coveted Station of the Year Award this year are BBC Radio Leeds,
BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Southern Counties Radio.
BBC
Radio Cumbria won this award last year for its compelling broadcasting
during the foot and mouth epidemic.
