Chris mentioned this morning that he didn't think he was in line for a Sony Award this year... he's got Bronze for Music Radio Personality of the Year!

Some honorary friends of the show from the marathon broadcast have got awards too:

MistaJam's picked up Bronze for best music broadcaster (after Mark Radcliffe and Zane Lowe) and Silver for Best Specialist Music programme, and the legend that is Annie Nightingale has got a Special Award. Simon Mayo got Gold for best music show.

And Colin Murray's 5 Live show Fighting Talk got best sports programme.

There is a story in the Metro this morning about how he was "snubbed".

And Ronnie Wood won the music radio personality.

Still funny how these "journalists" use old photos, I'm guessing this one could probably be 9 years old or so.

[MK Chris]

Really pleased about Simon Mayo's award.

And Colin Murray's 5 Live show Fighting Talk got best sports programme.

Sports programme?!

Blimey. I do like fighting talk, but I would put it in the panel quiz / comedy section, not sport.

I think Danny Baker won an award as well

English as tuppence, changing yet changeless as canal water, nestling in green nowhere, armoured and effete, bold flag-bearer, lotus-fed Miss Havishambling opsimath and eremite, feudal still, reactionary.....

One of the most popular winners on the night was BBC London 94.9’s and 5 live’s Danny Baker, who became Speech Radio Personality of the Year, for being “A true original. A personality who’s found new and innovative ways to use the techniques of radio, whether he’s delivering a unique verbal barrage or creating an endless stream of compelling ideas….”

Which I suspect would be a huge embarrassment

Well done Candyman the best thing on a weekday afternoon by a mile, well deserved and he he is damn 'true original' something mills on at the same time can only dream about, too me he is a radio god. As for Chris moaning about coming third to Ronny Wood and Frank Skinner, rather them than Fearne and Reggie, if that ever happens is the day radio dies screaming !!!!!

Well done Candyman...

Congratulating yourself on your own opinions there...?

[timp]

I'm really glad to see Moyles is still getting recognition at the Sony's. Well done to him!

[Wykey]

Who can take a sunrise....
Sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two.....

The Candyman, the Candyman can,
The Candyman can 'cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good!

Ooh, having a Chris Evans moment......

Actually Danny Baker (aka The Candyman) did this first on his show (and still does), Chris (a good friend of Danny's) 'borrowed' it from him

That just makes me think of Homer Simpson singing "the garbage man can..." Oh dear.

When I moved house recently, I needed to put some stuff in storage. There was a choice of Big Yellow Storage, or Storage King.

I went with Storage King because it reminded me of Plow King

Did you ever listen to the all day breakfast show podcasts?

[Yudster]

Are Chris Evans and Danny Baker still friends? I have a vague memory of a massive bust up between them some time back? I might have imagined it of course.

[Wykey]

There was mention of him visiting DB in hospital while he was having his cancer treatment, I think they're still friends.

Was that not Mr Plow? "Mr Plow, that's my name...that name again is Mr Plow." There was Internet King, that Bill Gates (celebrity voices impersonated) bought from him?

[Wykey]

Homer was Mr Plow, that name again, is Mr Plow...

Plow King was the company Barney set-up...

[Nicola_Red]

Ahhh, of course! I knew there were two rival plow companies but i couldn't bring the name of the other one to mind There was Internet King too tho. I'm such a Simpsons geek.

Of course, Comic Book Guy's finest hour

Yes, excellent stuff, very, very funny, kept them all on my PC (also the sports stuff he did with Danny Kelly). Shame about how all ended with Danny not getting paid and and getting ripped off, its something I think he never talks about considering the way it ended, shame it was fantastic stuff

Also as far as I'm aware Danny and Chris Evans never fell out over anything they have always been the best of friends.

Further to this, and the really bloody brilliant news yesterday...

"The call I have been waiting for just happened. Turns out I won. I'm all clear. I'm well again."

What a guy, love him or hate him you gotta say Chris Evans, a true friend for his friends in need. Well Done Candyman, you did win, as if they would ever be another outcome, and another quality show this afternoon in the Treehouse !!!!

I saw that Danny Baker tweet yesterday. Probably one of the best tweets I've ever read. His show on 5 Live on Saturday mornings is just great, I highly recommend downloading the podcast or listening to it.
