WINNERS REVEALED

EDINBURGH, 27th August 2011 - The MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival today reveals the winners of the annual Arqiva Channel of the Year Awards.

In a star-studded ceremony attended by festival delegates at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, host Russell Kane was joined by an array of celebrities including actress and comedian, Miranda Hart, comedian Al Murray, TOWIE’s Mark Wright and Sam Faiers, magician, Dynamo and The Killing’s Sofie Grabol.

ITV was named as Terrestrial Channel of the Year for the first time in the history of the awards, taking the crown from last year’s winner, Channel 4. BBC Three took the Digital Channel of the Year award for the second year in a row.

Terrestrial Programme went to BBC One’s Sherlock, marking an unrivalled winning streak of four years for the channel’s programming in the category. For the second year running, The Inbetweeners scooped Digital Programme of the Year.

This year, three new categories were added to the awards; Indie of the Year went to TalkbackTHAMES, the production company behind hit shows including The X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and The Apprentice; the Million Pound Drop play-along game, created by Endemol Games, scooped the Cross Platform Innovation Award; and Producer or Director Debut went to filmmaker, Rob Leech for My Brother the Islamist, which aired on BBC Three earlier this year.

E4’s BAFTA-winning show, Misfits, took The Network & Fast Track Programme Choice Award for the second year running.

Now in its 10th consecutive year, the Arqiva Channel of the Year Awards is in recognition of the increasingly competitive and often challenging market that today's TV companies operate in, and to celebrate the creative, innovative and commercial solutions that both channels and production companies present.
