National commercial speech radio station LBC has secured its highest-ever number of nominations in this year's Radio Academy awards, including two nominations for a phone-in hosted by the deputy prime minister.
Nick Clegg's weekly show, Call Clegg, is nominated for best speech programme and best news and current affairs programme.
LBC – with nine nominations – is shortlisted for station of the year (1 million plus audience area) alongside BBC Radio Ulster and Metro Radio in Newcastle. TalkSport has two nominations and is up against BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4 for UK station of the year.
The BBC has secured almost two-thirds of the nominations for this year's Radio Academy Awards. Its broad range of programming makes up 78 of the 119 nominations, with the corporation dominating the speech broadcaster and feature/documentary categories.
