I think that it's more shocking that Paxo has won presenter of the year than Sky News winning news channel of the year. The man is appauling.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet...
Sky's the limit - of good taste
Really, though, as ever at the RTS, you have to wait for the Isleworth Bloods to take the stage before it can really shake down. Sky News's Jeremy "JT" Thompson led the stage invasion while collecting the news channel of the year gong. At the end of a typically self-effacing speech for a Sky employee, Thompson turned to Etchingham. "Now you know what you're missing, Julie ..." he gloated, before losing it completely, "if only I had a knighthood or an exotic heritage I could lure you back to Sky News." It was while the audience was still assessing the full offensiveness quotient of his remarks that someone - presumably sober, presumably working for ITN so that should narrow it down - shouted back "or an audience".
