Sonic Boom NSR

Awarded the NSR Show of the Year 2020/2021! Newcastle Student Radio's prime late night radio show, every Monday 9-10pm with Elliot Kilby and Luke McGibbon

27/06/2022

The Sonic Boom would like to pay tribute to a broadcasting giant, the late Harry Gration who has sadly passed away. Growing up in Yorkshire, he was a fixture of our lives on television and radio, and a welcome face in our living rooms every evening at 6:30pm. Pictured below is a special moment in which one of the Sonic Boom was interviewed by Mr Gration in 2009 for Look North, a treasured childhood memory. His presence on our screens will be greatly missed, and his contribution to British media, charity, and the Yorkshire region itself will never be forgotten. RIP.

Last night was just incredible! We'd like to say thank you to anyone of those who sent in your nominations for this award, and for tuning in each week! Student radio has been a defining feature of our time at university, and we could never have imagined during our first time on air together that the Sonic Boom would turn into a multi-award winning radio show. Although it may be coming to an end very soon, getting this kind of recognition is a perfect way to sign off. It makes all the late Monday nights worth it!
Tune in Monday at 9pm for more!

Wow, what a crazy night!! 🏆 We're genuinely speechless, and so pleased to announce that one half of the Sonic Boom has won NSR Presenter of the Year! As we've mentioned before, this has been a team effort throughout 2021/2022, and we can't thank you guys enough for acknowledging our commitment and tuning in each week. A big final thank you to Newcastle Student Radio for this award, it really means so much.
