Your award-winning station!
Winchester Radio was recognised in two categories of the 2021 National Hospital Radio Awards:
Recognising Innovation across Hospital Radio
This award is designed to recognise those behind the scenes, and celebrates pushing the boundaries, using innovative, novel or pioneering ideas. Winchester Radio won the award for our pioneering conversion from an unincorporated charity running a hospital radio station to a modern “Charitable Incorporated Organisation” promoting health, wellbeing and positive ageing in the community – as well as continuing to provide our hospital radio service
Best Female Presenter
This award is designed to accurately demonstrate the diversity of presentation skills and awareness of, and engagement with, the audience. Winchester Radio’s Chairman, Anna O’Brien, won the Gold Award, with the judges saying “”Our winner showed a real diversity of presentational skills and a real awareness of her audience. The judges said she displayed a real passion and energy, was natural and local and showcased a variety of subjects and style.””
