HCJB Global-UK picked up three radio awards last week at two different awards ceremonies for excellence in programming. At the Sandford St. Martin Radio and Television Awards the ministry came away with a Merit Award for a series of five short radio spots played on commercial station the Pulse in West Yorkshire.
“The spots (titled ‘Jesus Meek and Mild? … As if’) explored popular misconceptions about the person of Jesus using music, vox pops and punchy commentary,” stated HCJB Global-UK Chief Executive Colin Lowther in a press release.
The event took place at Lambeth Palace in London, and the award was presented to the Bradford-based team by the new bishop of Bradford, Nick Baines, who is also chairman of the Sandford St. Martin Trust.

Just two days later the HCJB Global-UK radio production team (also known as Whistling Frog Productions), received the Gold Award for “Best Speech Magazine Program” at the Christian Broadcasting Council (CBC) Media Awards that also took place in London.
“This prize was for a special Christmas feature commissioned by Sunrise Radio, a station for the Asian community in Yorkshire,” wrote Lowther. “The program aimed to explode some myths about the real meaning of Christmas and featured Asian Christians talking about their faith.” The CBC Media Awards were presented by stand-up comedian Tim Vine.
The CBC also handed HCJB Global-UK a Highly Commended Award for the “Jesus Meek and Mild” spots.
“We are delighted to have made such an impact with our creative radio material,” Lowther added. “As religious content becomes harder to find in the world of commercial radio, it’s more important than ever that we keep the rumor of God alive on the commercial airwaves.”
