UKNova

Yes, the moment is finally here to find out who has won a coveted UKNova Award! There are member awards, site awards, TV & Radio show awards and much, much more. Your host for the ceremonies will be Ackerdakelry, radio virtuoso and American legend. But that's not all; there will be a host of celebrity guest to present the awards, performing dogs and a special appearance by Clodagh Rogers (Note from the editor, there appears to be some confusion here between the UKNova awards and the 1971 BAFTAs).

The show begins Sunday December 11th at 7pm UK time (1pm Central US).

An hour prior to that, Eddy and AliceB will be hosting an hour of pre-show inside info and celebratory buildup all the way from Cairo. So if you want to find out who won a gong and what the users of UKNova think is the best TV show EVER, tune in tomorrow to http://uknr.org to find out!!

Please welcome our new administrator Clumpton, affectionly known as Clumpy. Sometimes in life, someone special comes along. This is truly the case for uknova in that respect and we look forward to working together to take the site forward.

Award Presenters Wanted!

The Awards Team are looking for people to help out in presenting the awards this year. This is YOUR chance to take part in the glitziest and sparkliest night of the UKNova year! So if you would like your dulcet tones to be broadcast on UKNova Radio, take a look at this thread for some basic details and send a PM to the Awards Team to let them know of your interest. You will need to record a short audio file to send in to the show, but technical help is available, and I am sure it can be done via Skype etc (maybe even by phone) if you prefer. There are no webcams involved, so you do not HAVE to be dressed in dinner jacket or that little black off-the-shoulder number to present an award - but if that is standard evening wear where you live, so much the better!

Please be quick though - the team will be starting to pull the show together very soon.

Remember: the Awards Show this year will be presented at 7pm GMT on Sunday 11th December by UKNR DJ extraordinaire Ack (Ackerdackerly), while the pre-show-warm-up-show show will take place one hour earlier. So come along and be warmed up, and then be excited by the glamour and showbizness of it all on the night!

Tonight sees the culmination of the BBC's 2011 Children in Need Appeal, when almost the entire evening's output on BBC1 gets turned over to Pudsey Bear & Terry Wogan and the familiar fund-raising extravaganza aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged children all over the UK.

We all know that we are living in difficult financial times; few of us will not have been affected by the global economic downturn which seems to be amongst the news headlines every day. But we ask you every year to support the BBC appeal and this year is no different.

The evening's entertainment will be uploaded by a group of volunteer cappers, so if you download any of it - or even if you don't! - please consider making a donation to Children in Need. There are many different ways to donate, please see the BBC Children in Need website for details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey

Thanks.

You can now find all of this year's BBC Children in Need programmes here.

Voting in the 2011 UKNova Awards is OPEN!! So get voting and help make YOUR favourite the number 1 choice. Voting will close on Sunday 27th November - don't miss out!
