The Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards: a chance for commercial radio to celebrate their achievements in tough times, without Radio 3 popping up to spoil the party. And what a party?! Friday night's ceremony was the first time the awards had been held in the evening, and it's fair to say the experiment was a success... to the extent that one BBC executive, there on special invitation, was heard to utter 'these are better than the Sonys aren't they?'...
A-Ha's set went down a storm, and when, on talkSPORT winning Station of the Year (1 million>), Alan Brazil suggested everyone should celebrate, he wasn't ignored!
