from أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Suffolk.

أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Leeds defends last year's Outside Broadcast
win, vying with أغر؟´«أ½ Essex and أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Kent for the honour.
أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Devon - another Gold winner from 2003 - is seeking
to keep possession of the Radio Promotion title but will be pressed
for top slot by أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Lincolnshire and أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Solent.
أغر؟´«أ½ Radio Cleveland - which won Gold in the Sony Awards in May
for its coverage of the State Visit of President Bush - is hoping to
repeat that triumph in the Coverage of a News Story category where it
goes up against two stations reporting on high profile murders: أغر؟´«أ½
Radio Humberside on Soham and the Bichard Inquiry, and أغر؟´«أ½ Radio
Nottingham on the murder of Marian Bates.
Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced on Thursday 14 October
in an awards ceremony at Birmingham's International Convention Centre.

England, Frank Gillard, who died in 1998.
