Station Founded 2004Smoke Radio was established in 2004 by then students: Joe Haddow, Tim Pryor, Sam Gregory and Mark Jackson with additional help from others throughout the University of Westminster - including Radio Production Lecturer, Matthew Linfoot. After the intake of new students in September 2005 the station took to running a 24 hour playout system and began a broadcasting a schedule of live programmes during the week. In 2008 the station completely rebranded. The logo was changed so it was related to other logos used by the University of Westminster's Students' Union. The on air branding was voiced by students Nick 'Fiz' Bright and Sophie Clamp and the music selection was altered to better suit the tastes of Westminster's Student body. Since then the station has grown each year, becoming an integral part of student life for many at The University of Westminster. Student Radio Awards: In 2006 Smoke Radio had won awards at the Student Radio Awards, including the Gold Award for "Best Journalistic Programming" and two Bronze Awards for "Best Marketing and Station Sound" and "Best Station 2006". At the 2008 Student Radio Awards, Smoke Radio also picked up a Bronze Award for "Best Interview", for an interview with British humorist, Danny Wallace; and the Gold Award for "Best Newcomer" was awarded to the first-year work of Dan Roberts. In 2009, Smoke won two Gold Awards for "Best Marketing and Branding" and "Best Outside Broadcast", the latter being for "Smoke's Summer Send-Off" - a week long broadcast during the final week of 2008's academic year. They were also nominated for "Best Station" and "Best Technical Achievement". At the 2010 Awards, Smoke Radio was nominated for 5 awards: Best Newcomer, Best Interview, Best Live Event or Outside Broadcast, Best Marketing and Station Sound, Best Speech Programming, taking away a bronze award for Best Marketing and Station Sound.
