Their support highlights the growing national reputation of the station and the impact MSR is having within student media.
This latest success firmly cements Moore Student Radio as one of the country’s leading student stations and showcases the incredible talent of LJMU students!
Jack Bostock (Station Manager and LJMU Student) said:
"I am incredibly proud of what Moore Student Radio achieved at this year’s Student Radio Conference in Salford. Walking away with 8 Amplify Awards is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and late nights our team puts in behind the mic and the mixing desk.
I am surrounded by such a brilliant team of individuals, and this success truly belongs to all of them. However, we couldn't have reached this milestone without the unwavering support of both JMSU and LJMU, who provide the platform for us to grow.
While university life often places a heavy emphasis on sports, I hope these awards showcase that success comes in many forms. Societies like Moore Student Radio are more than just a hobby, they are vital launchpads for successful careers in the creative industries. This win proves that our student voices are some of the strongest in the country."
While live shows are taking a well-earned summer break, listeners can still enjoy music from MSR throughout the holidays. The station will return in September for Freshers and the start of another exciting academic year!
Students interested in getting involved can meet the team at Freshers Fair or drop MSR a message on Instagram.
