A dilemma now for the BBC - BBC1 has now been named Channel of the Year. That is "RTS Channel of the Year". Will they add it to their lockdown idents - only time will tell.
The problem is they're already saying BBC2 is "Channel of the Year" with a badly positioned tag on the BBC2 idents. Now you can't have two BBC channels both saying they're "Channel of the Year" surely, even if technically they both are, with BBC2 getting the Edinburgh award last August.
Presumably they'll have to qualify it with the correct prefixes - easy enough for the RTS, not so much for the "Edinburgh International Television Festival Channel of the Year" - although sadly I see them opting to slap that across the BBC2 idents (probably on one line!) rather than simply opt not to include the claim on either.
The RTS Channel of the Year award goes to @BBCOne, which even in a time of crisis offered up “an extraordinary range of quality programming, from bold new drama to innovative comedy and entertainment, plus outstanding news coverage” – congratulations! #RTSAwards pic.twitter.com/D5aaEPfavj
