about // Subcity Geeks Make The Radio Awards Shortlist

Subcity is proud to announce that the station's web team have been nominated in the Best Technical Achievement category at the 2009 Student Radio Awards. The announcement was made earlier this evening at the Scottish regional nominations party, this year hosted in Glasgow venue Pivo Pivo.

One of the team involved in the short-listed entry, Shaun Murphy, said after the announcement "The station is well known for it's events and music output so it's good to see the geeks getting some well deserved recognition"

The entry, catchily titled A (dynamic, meta-data based) system for finding something new to listen to, detailed the team's work in developing a way to help listeners find content they might like on the Subcity website.

Subcity has previously fared well in the Student Radio Awards, with Glasgow graduates Chris Storey and Kev Tracey winning gold in the Specialist Music Programming category for their show Grind your Mind, Armed Response DNB taking silver for the same category last year and the station picking up gold in 2004 then silver in 2005 in the Off-Air Promotions & Imaging category.

This year's winners will be announced at the Student Radio Awards Ceremony on the 5th November 2009, held at the IndigO2 venue in London.
