KCLR has picked up two nominations for this year\u2019s Irish Music and Radio Organisation Awards.<\/p>\n
Both entries come from the sports department with our sports story submission and live show submission securing nominations.<\/p>\n
The sports story entry is titled A Great Day In November, built from the excitement and buzz of Ireland\u2019s qualification for a World Cup play-off following wins over Portugal and Hungary.<\/p>\n
The sports show entry opens with a montage from the celebrations of Muckalee as they captured the AIB All-Ireland ladies club football title to the Grand National homecoming at Leighlinbridge and the passion of Barrow Rangers in their county final win over O\u2019Loughlin Gaels<\/p>\n
KCLRs Operations and Programme manager Ken McGuire says it\u2019s an exciting time: \u201cIt\u2019s always an exciting time when the nominations come out, but to pick up two, especially for sports coverage, when you\u2019re competing with the national broadcasters as well, it\u2019s a huge bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to the direction of the show, how it\u2019s being received by your peers, and to the hard work and the dedication of all that are involved in sport here at KCLR.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KCLR has picked up two nominations for this year\u2019s Irish Music and Radio Organisation Awards.
