A health and wellbeing broadcaster in Banbury has enjoyed success at the National Hospital Radio Awards.

Radio Horton won the Silver award in the Best Speech Package category at the ceremony which took place in Winchester on April 13.

The silver recognition celebrated Radio Horton's coverage of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Staff Recognition Awards in July 2023.

The team crafted a package highlighting the contributions of healthcare professionals within the trust.

Chair of Radio Horton, Sam Smette, said: "Winning Silver in the Best Speech Package category is a tremendous honour for Radio Horton.

"It reflects the dedication and talent of our volunteers who continuously strive to deliver engaging content to our listeners.

"We are immensely proud of our team and grateful for the support of our community."

The judging panel praised the programme's selection of voices and stories, and its community spirit.

Radio Horton said the recognition highlighted their "commitment to delivering high-quality programming that resonates with listeners".

The National Hospital Radio Awards celebrate excellence in hospital radio broadcasting across the UK, recognising stations that demonstrate innovation, creativity, and professionalism in serving their communities. 

The station, which is led by volunteers, will celebrate its 60th anniversary in July.
