Peelie has won the gold award (a sort of lifetime achievement
thing) at the Sony Awards. So much for all that "we never win
awards" stuff, though it would have been nice to see the John
Peel show in the running for one of the regular awards.

Andy Kershaw picked up a gold in the weekly music category and
a silver in the music specials category. I was a little dis-
appointed that Mixing It was an also-ran for the Specialist
Music award, but you can't have everything.
