O2 Media Awards - Yorkshire
This award was for the most ambitious live OB in which 3 BBC regions came together for a special Outside Broadcast from the National Railway Museum in York. At its heart a subject that was a real talking point across the north - Rail services. It was a complicated live programme on BBC One , with live contributions from other locations and VT inserts played in from a 2nd gallery in Salford. I was one of the three presenters and did the holding-to-account interviewing.
