COMMUNITY RADIO YOUGHAL won three national awards at the recent CRAOL Community Radio Achievement Awards. CRAOL is the umbrella body for the Community Radio movement in Ireland. This year’s awards were presented at a ceremony held in the Shamrock Lodge Hotel, Athlone in Co Westmeath.

Community Radio Youghal (also known as C.R.Y 104fm) submitted entries in three categories, the maximum allowed.

In the Commissioned Programming category, Blackwater, Life and Lodgings scored very highly to scoop its award. The judges described the five part series about life on and along the Blackwater as: “Beautiful audio and scripting in a compelling programme”. They added that “the production values were superb and worth repeating on stations nationwide”. Edited by Justin Maher and narrated by Mervyn Scott featured historians, Kieran Heffernan and Frankie Mills and renowned navigator, Tony Gallagher. This is the second successive year that C.R.Y has won an award in the Commissioned Programming category.

Jazz on 104, presented by Tony Sheehan won an award in the Specialist Music category. The submission included a part of the programme’s Culture Night special. The judges said that Jazz on 104  was a “Great example of how specialist music can engage with the Community using an open mic night as part of culture night. Smooth presentation and well researched. This innovative programme was a pleasure to listen to”.

A new programme to C.R.Y in 2011, GAA This Week was a winner in the Sport category. GAA This Week was devised, produced and presented by Derek Kiely. In its first season on air, the programme reached out to every GAA club in the East Cork area, featuring club profiles, interviews, discussions and much more. The series ran the full GAA season from March to November. The judges said that GAA This Week was “Well presented. Great community involvement”. They also said it was an “excellent example of Community sports programming.”

C.R.Y Station Manager, Declan Gibbons congratulated everyone involved in the research and making of these award winning programmes. He said that the “success in this year’s awards scheme is further recognition of the excellent programmes that are being made by C.R.Y volunteers and staff in conjunction with local organisations and members of the community”.

Community Radio Youghal held its 2011 AGM at a well-attended main hall in Cumann na Daoine, Catherine Street on Monday 13th June. At last year’s AGM of Youghal Communications Ltd (the company that runs Community Radio Youghal), new Articles of Association were adopted, paving the way to open up membership of the station.

C.R.Y Chairman, Tommy Collins welcomed all present to the meeting and proceeded to get through the agenda. The AGM heard of much progress made during the year. There are over 100 members of Community Radio Youghal to date, and this figure is expected to continue to rise. Volunteer activity at the station is also on the increase, with some 130 volunteers active with the station at the moment.

The meeting was told how, in common with all other businesses in the area, the radio was finding the current business climate very challenging, but the station is keen to play its part in supporting local initiatives and events. Reference was made to the two top national awards won by the station since the last AGM – for the ‘Last of the Yarns’ series and the ‘Perspectives’ programme. Two more major series, supported by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland  will be made in the Autumn; one about life on and around the Blackwater and the other focussing on Youghal’s Heritage Trail.

Plans are at an advanced stage for a move to premises at Nagle House, where – subject to available funding – new studio facilities will be built. These will allow the station to better accommodate and facilitate its increasing number of volunteers and to provide a much improved service to the listener.

The meeting was taken aback when, towards the end of the AGM, Tommy Collins announced that he was stepping down as Chairman and from the Board. After several member present expressed their surprise and disappointment at this announcement, Tommy agreed to remain on the Board for the time being. However, he re-iterated his intention to step down from the chair at the next meeting of the Board.

A members’ draw was then held.

The Chairman then closed the meeting and invited all present to partake of some light refreshments.

 

Community Radio Youghal scooped two top awards at the Community Radio Achievement Awards last month. The awards scheme is organised by CRAOL, the umbrella body for Community Radio in Ireland.

CRY 104fm won a distinction award in the Commissioned Programme category for its documentary series ‘Last of The Yarns’ which chronicled the rise and fall of the textile industry in Youghal.  The programme was scripted by Seamus Murphy, directed by Tommy Collins and produced by Noel Cronin. Mervyn Scott narrated the series, which was edited by Justin Maher and made with the assistance and participation of dozens of the people of Youghal and surrounding areas.’Last of The Yarns’ was grant aided by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, under its Sound & Vision programme.

The station also won a distinction award in the Social Benefit category for ‘Persectives’, the weekly inclusiveness programme on CRY 104fm. ‘Perspectives’ was devised by Station Manager, Declan Gibbons and is produced and presented weekly (Wednesdays @ 6.30pm) by Rhona Coughlan. The programme gives a platform to individuals or groups who may consider themselves or be considered by others as members of a minority group. The programme seeks to emphasise inclusiveness, while recognising difference.

Community Radio Youghal has a new logo. A few months ago the call went out to some local graphic designers and artists to come up with some ideas for a new logo for Youghal’s favourite radio station.
Photo: Michael Hussey www.youghalonline.com Email: news@youghalonline.com

The brief was simple, A logo that was eye catching, modern and was representative of the town and local area. In the end  the work of three designers came under consideration, Nigel Robertson, Mike Walsh and Claire Regan who all came up with really good ideas and some very innovative designs.

A CRY committee was assembled to deliberate on the designs and in an effort to gauge public opinion A facebook poll was also carried out . Nigel Robertson’s “Sunset logo”  was the early favourite but Claire Regan refused to be beaten and at the very last minute made one final submission which was the unanimous choice of the panel.

CRY104fm would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to Claire for her hard work and dedication not only on the logo but also in the different projects she is currently involved in with the radio station . The Station is delighted with its new logo and free bumper  stickers are now available in our offices in  Cumann Na Daoine.

Tune in to  ‘Spotlight’ on CRY – Arts programme with Claire Regan, John Butt, Oona Colin, Colin Durkin. Every Wednesday between 6.30pm and 7.30pm

All weekend programming is already live and there will also be some small changes to make the station’s weekend listening even better. Photo: Michael Hussey Youghalonline.com

Every weekday programmes will begin with ‘Yawl Ready for This?’ from midday ’til 2pm. It’s a light chat based programme with interviews, features, guests and music. The programme will have three presenters throughout the week; Kieran Kidney, Rhona Coughlan and Shane Supple who’ll retain his regular Local Music Scene as part of Friday’s show. The show will also feature an update on News, Weather and Bereavement announcements at 1pm.

CRY Chairman, Tommy Collins is confident that the new schedule will be a big hit locally. “Listeners will continue to enjoy all of their favourites here on CRY and, in addition they will now have a whole range of new presenters and new live programmes every day”, said the Chairman.

The station’s new evening magazine show ‘Youghal @ 5′ will begin each weekday at 5pm and run until 6.30 with News, live interviews, vox pops, bereavement notices, traffic news and more.

There will also be a new weekly Arts programme called ‘Spotlight’, every Wednesday from 6.30 – 7.30pm. CRY’s new inclusiveness programme ‘Perspectives’ will be on every Thursday evening from 6.30 – 7.30.

Station Manager, Declan Gibbons is excited, not just by the programmes, but by all of the volunteer involvement. “We put out the call for new volunteers a few months ago”, he told the Evening Echo “and since Christmas especially, we’ve had a huge response from volunteers of all sorts.

“Some people have offered to answer the phone, others want to present programmes, while many more have offered to do research and work behind the scenes. We’ll also have a huge number of people contributing  to programmes across the schedule.

All of the stations regular favourites will also continue to bring the best in local broadcasting to the communities of Youghal, East Cork and West Waterford.
