BBC Southern Counties Radio is celebrating today after winning a silver trophy at local radio's answer to the Oscars.
The station, which broadcasts to Sussex and Surrey, was voted the second best BBC local radio station.
It won the silver award in Station of the Year category at the Frank Gillard Awards at Norwich football ground.
BBC Southern Counties Radio was narrowly beaten by BBC Radio Leeds for the coveted Station of the Year award, for which all of the BBC's 39 local stations compete.
Mike Hapgood, managing director of Southern Counties Radio said: "We are all delighted.
"It has been a team effort and this award is a credit to everyone who works for and contributes to our station"
The annual awards are in honour of Frank Gillard, one of the founders of the BBC local radio network.
