Oxford’s FM107.9 wins New York radio award

Oxford’s FM107.9 Sunday show, Girls Talk, has been named one of the
world’s best radio shows. It has scooped bronze in the category of Best
Music/ Personality Show at the annual & prestigious New York Festivals
Radio Broadcasting Awards.

These international awards recognise "The World's Best Work" in radio
programming. Entries were judged by panels of radio experts for their production
values, organization, and presentation of information, creativity and use of the
medium.

Oxford's FM107.9 competed against stations such as Heart FM in London and Heart
FM West Midlands. The candidates were whittled down to five today it was
announced that the show – devised and presented by FM107.9’s Anna Cookson – has
scooped the bronze trophy.

Ian Walker – FM107.9’s General Manager comments: “I am thrilled that Girls
Talk has been internationally recognised for its ground-breaking format. Anna has
proven that a simple concept, based on what a group of girls talk about when they
on mass visit the ladies room, has become a must listen show and we have simply
been overwhelmed by listener reaction. Girls Talk is a unique forum for Oxford
women to chat about the things that really matter to them, everything from dating
to dieting, breast cancer and between the sheets confessions. It seems fitting that
this has happened in the county’s millennium year – Oxfordshire should be very
proud indeed that we are being represented on a global scale.”

Catch the internationally award-winning Girls Talk with Anna and the girls every
Sunday evening from 8-10pm only on Oxford’s FM107.9. (www.fm1079.com)
