As well as a fabulous amount of money raised, we’d like to make public some other statistics regarding our website:

• During the challenge, Friday – Sunday, 810 people clicked on our listen live link, compared to 129 the week before in the same timeframe.
• We had 6,614 unique visitors throughout last week, compared to 4,091 the week prior. 3,043 of those visits were over the weekend.
• Out of those visitors we had 15,998 hits, compared to 10,112 the week before.

This has been an extraordinarily successful weekend beating all expectations, financial forecasts and more than doubling what was raised during the 24 Hour Challenge in 2008.

We’d like say a MASSIVE thank you and congratulations to Hannah Ashman, Lisa O’Grady, Izzy Reubin, Adam Glynn, Heena Tailor, Jade Wight, Dan Cottrell and Rishi Ruparelia.

On top of our other nominated entries including Best Female Presenter and Station of the Year, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for us.

Congratulations to David for winning the prestigious award and becoming the best presenter in the UK. And a big thanks to Ben Punter for putting together our Special Event entry as well as overseeing all our nominated ones.

On David’s winning entry, the judges said “Up, engaging and fresh – David clearly stood out from the rest in this category. All of the judges loved the moving story from the patient too. They felt his presentation style was perfect for the target audience, warm, friendly and ideal for the hospital environment.”

For our Special Event entry which was highlights from our day at Under One Sky in June last year, one judge said “This entry has everything for me. Excitement, surprises and a real sense of community – pushing the boundaries of traditional hospital radio.”
