My story about playing with the rules for radio awards prompted a reader to relate the story of James Boyle and the Sony Awards.
A category of 'National Station of The Year' was introduced in 1993; the first winner was Classic FM. It was assumed the award was open to UK-wide stations, but James Boyle, decided, way ahead of formal Scottish Devolution, that Scotland was a Nation, entered in 1994, daring the judges to contradict him, and won. His flagship show on the revamped Radio Scotland, Eddie Mair Live, also won Gold that year.
