The Royal Television Society (RTS) today launched its 2020 Programme Awards for the Northern Ireland creative industries.

The winners will be announced at a virtual awards ceremony hosted by Patrick Kielty on Thursday 12th November at 8pm.

As someone lucky enough to win an RTS Award, I know how much it means to be from Northern Ireland and have your work recognised. I’m genuinely delighted that, despite everything this year has thrown at us, we’re gonna get our glad rags on at home and toast our best of the best.”
