14 October:   The Broadcast Digital Awards were announced via a live-streamed event on Broadcastnow.co.uk. The awards celebrate the best in digital content, creativity and innovation from across the industry. The inaugural virtual awards show was hosted by comedian and writer Tom Allen and took on a completely new format in the wake of the restrictions of the pandemic.

The Broadcast Digital Awards are one of the most anticipated awards in the UK digital broadcasters’ calendar with over 500 viewers tuning-in to watch the virtual show. These are the only awards to celebrate success in programme-making and all multiplatform content including games and apps commissioned by digital broadcasters, and the technology that underpins them.

 Broadcast editor Chris Curtis said: “Entries this year were of a really high standard despite the pandemic and the companies that made it onto the shortlist should be incredibly proud. The winners of this year’s Broadcast Digital Awards delivered across all the criteria to a remarkable level in what is a very important commercial and creative space, possibly even more so now than ever.”
