Letterkenny journalist Eric White has been crowned sports broadcaster of the year.
The popular BBC Radio Foyle commentator won gold for Sports Broadcaster of the Year in the local/regional category at last night’s Irish Music Rights Organisation (IMRO) Awards 2021.
BBC Radio Ulster and Radio Foyle received 21 nominations for the awards, which took place in a virtual ceremony.
The nominations spanned a wide range of output, including speech, news, music, sport, specialist music and BBC Gaeilge.
Emma Dunseith, senior head of content production at BBC Northern Ireland said: “We are passionate about providing our audiences with programmes that reflect their lives and their interests and we work hard daily to deliver fresh, engaging and informative content.
“It is also a measure of our success that our efforts have been recognised by our peers in this way, at the IMRO Awards.”
