Radio AcademyThe Radio Academy is a registered charity that acts as a professional body for the radio industry in the UK. Its mission is the 'encouragement, recognition and promotion of excellence throughout the UK radio industry'. The Academy supports its sister organisation the Student Radio Association. The Academy was formed in 1983, partly to support the growth in independent local radio. Conferences The Radio Academy runs a range of conferences throughout the year. The biggest is the Radio Festival. Others look at music radio and speech radio. Awards The Radio Academy runs the UK's most prestigious radio industry awards. Often referred to as 'the Sony Awards' (after their principal sponsor), the awards celebrate everything from the biggest and best national radio shows to small shows by local stations. Radio stations or DJs wanting to enter the awards must edit the best bits of their show together. The winners are determined by a panel of Judges. 2004 - UK Station of the year: BBC Radio 4
