Leading the Radio One renaissance

Zane Lowe, the NZ-born DJ single-handedly credited with making BBC Radio One cool again, was named Music Broadcaster of the Year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in London. He also picked up the Specialist Music Prize, in recognition for his helping the new breed of British guitar bands to mainstream success. Radio One audience figures have risen from 1.3 to 2.25 million since Lowe joined the station in 2003.
