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 four of the 14 Awards are voted for by the membership. The rest are decided by specialist panels.
The awards are held every spring when presentations are made for programmes broadcast in the preceding year. 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.
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.
