Paul Kenyon gets the specialist award, well deserved as well.

... and the BBC News channel who weren't nominated.

Camera Operator of Year
Channel 4 News Dai Baker

A quick search on Twitter appears to show that Sky won the Innovation award for 'Fallen Heroes' about 15 minutes ago (http://twitter.com/viewmagazine)

Was that the special programme with Martin Stanford or the tribute wall on the website?

EDIT; Nevermind appears to be the website.

Also Sky news now got the breaking news banner up about their wins!

Hmm, maybe ITV will finally realise the "human interest" slant is not working for them...

Still, very pleased for Julie Etchingham, brilliant newscaster especially (as already said) out there presenting from a location. Miffed at BBC Ten O'Clock News getting the same award two years running. Channel 4 News, if not ITV News at Ten (which improved a hell of a lot when Mark Austin took over from Trevor McDonald. This of course before the whole "we feel your pain" angle of reporting and presenting had it's wicked way with the programme), much more deserving of the award IMHO.

Is McHugh's award for Biggest Compliance Failure?

To be honest apart from the Celebrity stuff on Sky News, the channel in an operational sense is far more innovative than that of the desk-ridden presentation that the BBC News channel offers. Sky are willing, at least to break the mould and try something a little more dynamic.

Still well done to them!
