  • Rts Programme Awards 2020 Categories and Criteria
    October 2019 Message from the Chair Dear Colleague RTS PROGRAMME AWARDS 2020 I am delighted to be chairing the RTS Programme Awards again this year. These are one of the gold standard awards in our industry and are an important showcase of the extraordinary talent evident across all genres in British television. We have taken on board feedback from the industry following last year’s awards. Our aim, as ever, is to reflect the changing television landscape and to make sure the categories recognise the kinds of programmes and talent that make up today's schedules and the best content in Britain. Following discussions with judges and entering companies we’ve introduced a wild card option to the awards: in addition to the allocated number of entries broadcasters may make into each category, all broadcasters may now submit one extra entry into any one category of their choosing. We would stress the need for all organisations to show awareness in their selection of entries of the need for recognising diversity in our industry and in our wider community. We have added details of last year’s nominations to each category so entrants can see which programmes and performers have been successful in the past in the hope this may help you decide which of your programmes might most benefit from entry in that category. Please refer to the full Programme Awards criteria before submitting your entries. If you have any queries on the criteria or conditions of entry, then please contact Lindsey Cran on 07710 759357 or [email protected].

Executive summary 1.1 Channel 4 commissioned EY to assess its economic, social and cultural contribution to the UK and its Nations and Regions As a public service broadcaster (PSB), Channel 4 has a remit to be distinctive, innovative, risk- taking, to offer a platform for alternative views, to nurture talent, and to support diversity. Channel 4 was deliberately established as a publisher-broadcaster, meaning that it commissions all of its programming from the external TV production sector, rather than through in-house production operations, to support the development of the external production sector. Additionally, Channel 4 is subject to a quota requiring it to commission at least 35% of its first- run original content1, in terms of both hours and spend, from the Nations and Regions of the UK2. Channel 4 also makes a wider contribution to the UK broadcasting ecosystem by supporting emerging talent, investing in the external production sector, and driving diversity. In October 2018, Channel 4 announced a major structural shift in its presence in the Nations and Regions as part of a new strategy called ‘4 All the UK’. This strategy included a voluntary commitment to increase Channel 4’s spend on first-run original content in the Nations and Regions from 35%, per its quota, to 50% by 2023.
