Marlow FM scoops gold award

MARLOW: The town’s volunteerrun radio station has won its first gold award at a radio awards ceremony for its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Marlow FM picked up the top accolade at this year’s Community Radio Awards, which were held in Coventry on Saturday. The station won for its response to COVID-19, which included running its 'Hidden Heroes' awards and broadcasting the Marlow 'Quiet Night In' fundraising event during the pandemic.

Graham Duthie, managing director of Marlow FM, said: “We’re a very small station, from quite a small town, but we like to think we pack a punch. A huge thank you to everyone at the Community Radio Awards, all our hardworking volunteers, but most of all our listeners.”
