Prolific North Champions Awards 2021 RADIO STATION OF THE YEAR- KCC Live 

Local Knowsley based radio station KCC Live had been nominated recently for an award from Prolific North Champions. Being a station that’s majority volunteer run, for almost 18 years and based in a college campus, to be nominated amongst companies such as Channel 4, Lizardfish TV, and BBC bitesize, and judged by people such as Ben O’Brien (Head of Comms Liverpool City Region Combined Authority) and Andrew Diggle (Head of Digital Content, Formula 1), was a huge honour. However, to go on and win has literally been a dream.
