Awards Categories:

Group A: Music Programming Awards
|
|
|
A1 Music Programming - Daily Sequences
|
|
This category recognises the contribution
daily programming sequences make to music
programmes. To qualify for entry, sequencing
in this instance must take place three or
more times a week. The overall effect of
the sequencing - for example, creation and
production of music sequences mixed with
feature items - will be examined.
This should not be confused with the Entertainment
Inserts category (A3) which is focused
on single elements that contribute to a
programming sequence.

show or specialist music programme could
be entered in this category.
