CBC Best Speech Programme Award

Whistling Frog Productions based in Bradford has scooped the Gold Award for Best Christian Speech Programme at the Christian Broadcasting Council's annual media awards.

An engraved plaque was awarded to Producer, Sandra Coleman and the programme's feature, Diane Baxter at the ceremony in Stoke-on-Trent on the 10th of November.

Home FM in Huddersfield broadcast the fourteen-minute programme entitled 'A Place Called Gethsemane' on Good Friday this year telling the story of a local woman diagnosed with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis. Diane Baxter describes how she was miraculously healed of the condition when only weeks away from death.

Whistling Frog Productions won the same award last year with 'A Borstal Good Friday' produced by Colin Lowther. The award-winning production team has been building creative audio productions for UK commercial radio stations since 1997.

Commissioning stations such as Home FM, LBC, The Pulse and Classic Gold confirm that it is possible to explore spiritual issues in a commercial radio format.
