Awards
Every spring, usually at the end of March or early in April, we present the BPG Television and Radio Awards. These recognise outstanding programmes and performances seen or heard in the preceding year. All but three of the 14 Awards are voted for by the membership. The rest are decided by specialist panels.
Since 1998 our annual Awards lunches have been held at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, following ten years at the Royal Opera House.
Recent sponsors of the event have included HomeChoice, ITV plc, UKTV, Discovery Channel and Pearson/Channel 5. For the past two years the Awards have been sponsored by Turner Broadcasting.
Between 1980 and 1992 we had our own 50-minute Awards programme on BBC One, broadcast live from the BBC’s Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham.
