Listener And Smart Awards
Once all of the main awards are presented, the boss casts his mind over the past year and adds a few more awards to acknowledge various other things that have happened throughought the year here at Smart Radio. Some are given with seriousness and gratitude and some ... Well, some are just for the fun of it but still just as important. Even the funniest of awards presented have had to have made an impact on the station manager and as such an award was presented. Not all are here, but the most memorable are.
2018
Number One Fan 2018
In the 1st year this went to Mrs Jones. She's been there every step of the way & as the guv'nor put it "She's allowed me to play on the radio!" Mrs J has backed him and supports all of us & we thank you Mrs Jones for everything.

2020
Act Of The Year Up 2020
2020 certainly has been a very difficult year for all of us, however the music helped keep us all sane and with so many great tracks to choose from, one band stood out from the rest as these local lads reached the most requests of the year and helped us maintain a better state of mental health than we could've expected.
Studio Of The Year 2020
A New award & a deserving 1st winner goes to Raoul Crane & Blaze Studios. Many of our local musicians have visited Blaze Studios & many of your tracks have made it to our shows. As such we give a “Nod” to Raoul & the amazing work he has done, his expertise can make a great track sublime.

Year 3 and a new contender appeared on the scene and not only did he take it by storm but more aptly he owned it. If you look up the phrase Shut The F**K Up this is the image you wil.l find! 'Embrace It, Own It & Keep It!' Can anyone take this award away from Broome Spiro? I'd hate to say yes!
