GOLD
Eddie Mair
Editor: Peter Rippon

"This broadcaster demonstrates a unique ability for sharp interviewing, mixed with killer first questions that set the tone for a greatly informed programme. His ability and calmness draws the interviewee into giving more than they perhaps first intended, which is to the benefit of the listener."
PM for BBC Radio 4

SILVER
Jeremy Vine
Producers: Nic Leake, Tim Collins, Bequi Sheehan & Suzie Dietrich
Editor: Phil Jones

"A broadcaster who never fails to strike the right note. This entry demonstrated Jeremy's range as a broadcaster who can ask the searching question, let those with moving stories tell them, and provide moments of genuine humour. We have in Jeremy Vine a speech broadcaster operating at the highest level."
BBC Radio 2

BRONZE
Simon Mayo
Editor: John Cary
Ashes Producer: Adam Mountford
Election Producer: Jon Zilkha

"An effortless style which puts guests and listeners at their ease. We were especially impressed at how he turned his failure to get into Tory party HQ on election night into a really engaging piece of radio. Simon's range is wide and he has the knack of picking up on issues which matter to people."

NOMINEE
Jim Hawkins
Producers: Jim Hawkins & Jane McIntyre with Les Walton
Editor: Tim Pemberton

"A broadcaster who shows real wit, intelligence and passion. Politicians and punters had their arguments equally tested, even when this resulted in the presenter being told that he was going to hell! Jim Hawkins showed real courage and flair in a variety of situations ranging from the standard phone-in set up - to an on location account of buying a car for the unfeasibly small amount of £50."
BBC Radio Shropshire

NOMINEE
Umberto Saoncella
Producer: Umberto Saoncella
Director: Terry Underhill
Editor: Kyle Evans

"A powerful presence, with real warmth that allows him to deliver his unique gift which is being able to move from caller to caller and from subject to subject with such ease and professionalism that it engages the listener and makes for a highly entertaining programme."
