Some people may be saying their time is limited, but they keep picking up the awards.

From the wires>>>>

ITV News won the News Programme of the Year award at the Broadcast awards held last night in London. The programme won the award for its coverage of the Beslan school siege.

The judges said: "Manyon was just ourtstanding. The detail of his reports and the way he managed to get into the school were amazing."

They went on to say: "It was incredibly brave and professional individual reporting. He stood out in his attempt to do something different. It felt like an observational film."

Mark Wood commented: "The annual Broadcast television awards have only one category for news and it is quite a coup to win it. The judges made clear they thought ITV News coverage of the Beslan school siege - above all the live coverage of its deadly finale by Julian Manyon and cameraman Sasha Lomakin, wwas just outstanding.

It is worth noting, though, that ITN won three out of a total of four nominations for the award. The other two nominations were for Channel 4 News' coverage of Beslan and the Madrid train bombing. The other nomination was for BBC's Madrid coverage."

I think its about time Julian Manyon got an award. I watched that programme and though it was excellent. Nicholas was very good too.

ITN should win an award for the tsunami coversage too. When they do things properly they really do them well, the problem is the standard ITV News output is drivvel.

I don't really think so. It more or less has almost the same stories as the Natasha "I'm on everything BBC1" Kaplinsky-heavily featured BBC News and Sky News.

You seem a bit delude Max, considering that Ms Kaplinsky was last on Sky News in 2002, and ITV News is drivel for the most of it.

I see how you got to that, their face structure is quite similar isn't it.
