    Any thoughts?

    Awards for everyone!

    The mere fact that Claire Byrne gets a nomination shows these awards up for the joke that they are

    I can't take these seriously at all. Oisin Langan, Sports Broadcaster of the year - his show was axed months ago.

    I have to agree that this nomination completely demeans the awards. Laughable in fact.

    Tony Fentons show even being nominated? He never deviates from a core playlist of 20 songs. Ever.

    How are the nominations made? is there a central judging panel, or do the stations put their own noms forward?

    No Donal Dineen in the special music category??

    What the hell is Paul McLoone doing in there? That show is awful stuff since Tom Dunne left.

    All the man does is boast about his music taste which is average at best.

    The PPI Radio Awards Committee, and I assume the judging panel is listed on the website. It is made up almost entirely of radio station bosses. Perhaps more of an independent viewpoint would give the awards greater validity and would make them more interesting to those who are not in the industry.

    Each station will put forward entries into each category/sub category. The judging is by various folks in the industry. The entry consists of a written and audio element.

    I think there is scope for a "peoples choice" award in some categories but there is a problem as not every station, programme or broadcaster can be heard in every part of the country.

    The awards are really a joke... Look how many community based stations are even shortlisted?? Probably none.... why?? I wonder has it anything to do with the fact that most of them don't subscribe to the PPI.... RTE should have good programmes seeing the amount of staff they have to produce and research... I met a person from 2fm today that was moaning htat she had to produce a programme that wans't hers because someone was away... she said it was due to cutbacks, I say, welcome to the real world... try working in a community station....

    The PPI Awards are open to all licenced terrestrial radio broadcasters in Ireland from community stations up to nationals. All broadcasters including community stations have to have a PPI licence so everyone is a PPI customer (though larger stations obviously pay more than smaller ones).

    There's a wealth of good programming produced by the community sector evevry year and I'm sure the PPI wouldn't turn away anybody who has ideas on how to encourage entries from tis sector.

    My point really is that it is not a level playing field.. Radio in RTE is quite different to a community based station where in RTE they have excessive amounts of staff, and could have 3 or 4 people producing a programme. Listen to Tubbridy thanking his staff... Also, PPI charge 100 euro per entry, for what?? What is the cost of listening to a recording?? Also, in many community stations people have to pay themselves to be nominated, not the case in RTE, Today Fm, Newstalk and so on. Of course the quality of production in a community station may be lower (staffing issue again). It would be nice to see some of the smaller stations get recognised. I would like to see how many of the stations above produce a programme on a zero budget!! Look who is on the judging panel... RTE, 2fm, Newstalk, RTE Lyric, RTE Radio 1, Today FM, RTE Radio Na Gaeltacht, ...... need I say anymore??

    I should have added, I take your point about ideas to the PPI... Community Radio awards section for Community Radio would be enough..

    I accept what you are saying in that larger broadcasters are well resourced both in personnel and technology. At the same time, A national broadcaster is obliged to cover many topics and issues accross the nation and hence the larger staff. A community broadcaster is generally going to cover issues or topics that are within the community or very pertinant to that locaility and this won't require the big staff counts of the large stations.

    On the technology front, production tools and equipment have become cheaper and cheaper. If anything the cost of producing programming of good technical quality and standards has fallen.

    I do accept that the cost of entry may be a barrier to entry for communiy stations. All stations do have to pay the fee per entry and most stations will put in more entries than the ones that they end up being short listed for. I can't speak for the PPI but I'm sure they would enertain suggestions from the community sector on how to increase entry from that sector.
