Harrogate Hospital Radio has started 2016 with a clutch of nominations in this year’s National Hospital Radio Awards.

Chairman Ian Wighton is shortlisted for Best Male Presenter and Ellie Jackson, a previous awards winner and multiple runner-up, is vying for the title of Best Female Presenter.

In addition, Harrogate Hospital Radio has again been short-listed for the coveted Station of the Year award. Ian said:

Being short-listed for three awards is superb news and a very welcome way to see in 2016.

I am delighted that once again the hard work of everyone at the station has been recognised in the fact we are short-listed for the Station of Year award.

Naturally both Ellie and I will have our fingers crossed that we too will come away with something on the night.

That said, just being nominated in these national awards is a testament to the talent we have at Harrogate Hospital Radio.

I am extremely proud to be a part of this superb organisation that has been on air for nearly 39 years.

The National Hospital Radio Awards will be held on Saturday March 19th, during a gala dinner at the HBA Annual Conference, being held in Watford.

The awards are judged by professionals working in the radio and health service industries.
