Top 'Oscars' for Ross
Jonathan Ross celebrated a double win, beating rivals Stephen Fry and Ricky Gervais to the best entertainment prize for his Saturday morning show on Radio 2 at last night's Sony Radio Academy Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
He also picked up the prestigious 2002 award for his mix of music, special guests and irreverent chat.
The judges praised him for his "speed of thought, natural wit and ability to transform even the most mundane of thoughts into entertaining broadcasting".
Fry was nominated for his Classic FM show while Gervais was shortlisted for his weekly slot on Xfm.
Radio 4 was named radio station of the year at the industry's equivalent of the Oscars.
John Humphrys, who presents the Today programme on the station, also won a Gold Award.
Accepting his award, Humphrys said; "This particular award should be renamed The OFA - The Old Farts Award.
"I've survived for 45 years and for that I am enormously grateful."
Since joining the Today programme 15 years ago, the Cardiff-born journalist has interviewed every major figure in British politics.
He said; "I thank Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and all those people who choose not to answer the questions - because if they answered the questions where would people like me be?"
Humphrys paid tribute to Radio 4 for winning the Station of the Year award.
"Radio 4 is the civilising influence in this country. I think it is the most important institution that we have and I am proud beyond belief to be working for it," he said.
And Radio 4's Just A Minute show, still going strong after 35 years, won the comedy award.
Motormouth DJ Christian O'Connell was named Britain's best breakfast show host, one of the evening's most hotly contested categories.
The Xfm DJ and Channel 5 presenter triumphed over last year's winner, Radio 2 veteran Terry Wogan.
O'Connell's show on the London indie station famously broadcast a live vasectomy operation earlier this year.
He has been dubbed the new Chris Evans and became a household name when he took over from Chris Moyles to host the daily Channel 5 show Live With...
Sony award winners were chosen by a panel of 100 judges including newscaster Kirsty Young, veteran DJ Tony Blackburn and Popstars judge Neil Fox.
Dominic Mohan, former editor of the Sun's Bizarre column, won the best single programme section.
His Virgin Radio special on The Who beat an edition of Ross's Radio 2 show in which he interviewed special guest David Bowie.
Saga Radio, which caters for the over-50s, won digital terrestrial station of the year.
