Now in its 11th consecutive year, the Channel of the Year Awards recognise the increasingly competitive and often challenging market that today's TV companies operate in, and celebrate the creative, innovative and commercial solutions that both channels and production companies present.
Having introduced 3 new awards in 2011, we’re continuing to recognise new creative talent and work in multiplatform in 2012 by inviting indies and individuals to enter the awards as well as broadcasters.
The awards will take place on Friday 24th August 2012 as part of the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival.
Voting: All paying Festival delegates will be able to cast their vote for the winner in each category and voting will open in June. Why not Buy a Pass now, or sign up to our newsletter to be notified when voting opens.
