Bono and Jarvis Cocker were the winners at the annual Sony Radio Academy Awards hosted yesterday from London. The event honored the best of British radio talent, Jarvis picked up the ceremony’s Rising Star prize and Bono was awarded with the trophy for Best Music Special. Bono received the trophy for his one-off broadcast celebrating the music of Elvis Presley.
Jarvis Cocker recently began hosting a show on BBC 6 Music, and hopes that his win will influence BBC executives to save the station. Jarvis Cocker on the radio station: "6 Music is never going to be the biggest station in the U.K. but it would be devastating if it was to close. 6 Music isn't going to change the world - it just wants to make it a bit nicer."
