Gong time

There'll be head scratching at the BBC, as the Royal Television Society news nominations are perused. 17 nominations is a good haul, in 14 categories available. But Controller Kevin Bakhurst will be wondering why the BBC News Channel (nee News 24) failed to make it in "Channel of the Year" - where the three selected are Al-Jazeera English, CNN International and the old enemy Sky News. Equally the News Channel misses out where it might expect a shoo-in - News Coverage Home, and News Coverage International. Who were the judges ?

In passing, congratulations to former 5Liver Ian Pannell, nominated in Television Journalist of the Year. Full list in Press Gazette.
