SO, the annual Sony Radio Academy Awards were held in London’s Grosvenor House Hotel last night, and, as predicted, it was a night when the great and the good of the industry celebrated all that was glittering about 2012′s radio broadcasting.

Independent production companies, who primarily make programmes for the BBC, had a decent night across a range of radio genres.
