We’re very happy to report that our two shortlisted programmes both won awards at last night’s Jerusalem Awards held at BAFTA in London.

The programmes were very different  – one a personal reflection for Fathers’ Day; the other, a satirical television sketch for Christmas – but the judges were fulsome in their praise for both. The Fathers’ Day piece was ‘very moving’ and involving; the sketch was ‘clever and creative, with a smart Christian message’.

GRF Team members, Brian Muir and Gillian McKinnon, were at the award ceremony to accept the awards on behalf of GRF.

GRF has two programmes shortisted for this year’s Jerusalem Awards:  ‘Christmas Music Mix – Light’ which was broadcast by Downtown Radio in Belfast and ‘Advent Music Mix – Hope’ which was broadcast by Central FM in Stirlingshire.  The producer of both programmes, Holly McGuigan, is also nominated in the ‘Under 25s’ category. The awards ceremony takes place at BAFTA in London on 11 October.

The most recent edition of the Church of Scotland’s Life & Work magazine contains several items about the nature and impact of religious broadcasting today. The main feature contains an interview with GRF team members, as well as other significant people involved in religious broadcasting in Scotland.
