Shannonside Northern Sound has enjoyed Gold success at this year's IMRO Radio Awards.

The Joe Finnegan Show secured the top prize in the Current Affairs Programme Local/Regional category for the interview with the parents of Eden Heaslip called 'Be Buddies Not Bullies’.

The interview kickstarted a huge mental health and suicide awareness campaign and also gathered national recognition for raising the issues of bullying among teenagers and young adults, especially on social media.
