2007 Student Radio Awards Report - 2007-11-20 03:58:12

The night was a stunning success for all involved. The photograph on the left shows the winners of the BFTD sponsored award with Jim Davis of LBC Radio.
Radio 1 was there in full force and the BFTD logo could not be missed as it was beamed across the room on giant screens ranged across the stage...nobody could miss it! Here are the results from the best interview category with judges remarks.

BEST INTERVIEW

Gold: Jack Penate - Gareth Ragg and Sarah Holmes, URN 1350
The judges said of this year's winning entry that it had clearly been well thought through beforehand, and as a consequence it was clear that its execution was enjoyed by both interviewer and interviewee alike. The interview itself, even in its shortened, edited form, demonstrated a real understanding of interview technique - and that, combined with the effective use of illustrative music, resulted in an excellent four minutes of radio.

Silver: Ewan McGregor - Tim Johns, Fresh Air

Bronze: Layik Hama - Jimmy Smallwood, LSRfm.com

Over one year in development from initial concept to web site opening, it's a great feeling for all involved with BFTD to finally open our doors to the music public. We have high expectations for the site and we are open to all comments regarding what you need.
