There was reassurance for what you might call the old order of TV News last night at the RTS Awards, with something for most of the big beasts to take home from hostess Reeta Chakrabarti.
Sky News picked up the breaking news award, for coverage of the Manchester Arena bomb, and News Channel of The Year. Will this natural order of things next year feature Sky Fox News, Sky ABC News, or Sky NBC News ?
Panorama picked up the Home Current Affairs Award, for former G4S custody officer Callum Tulley going back undercover at an immigration detention centre. Newnight got the international award, for The Rohingya Crisis: The Tula Toli Massacre, with Gabriel Gatehouse.
Big money news show BBC News at Ten - next year much cheaper - won Daily News Programme of the Year. Victoria Derbyshire, on BBC2 and the News Channel, won Interview of the Year with their handling of football abuse revelations, and the title Network Presenter of The Year. Victoria pointed out her pride in the team, just three years old; "'in BBC HR terms, 'in development'".
ITV's London news operation picked up awards for coverage of the Grenfell Tower fire, and for presenter Nina Hossain. BBC North East & Cumbria won the Nations & Regions Current Affairs gong, for Operation Sanctuary, Chris Jackson's report on an Asian grooming gang in Newcastle.
BBC News won the international news coverage awards for Yemen, which also brought a Young Talent award for Nawal Al-Maghafi - and Orla Guerin won TV Journalist of the Year. Specialist Journalist of the Year was Michael Crick at C4 News.
BBC News' Visual Journalism team won the technology prize for their NHS tracker.
Scoop of the Year went to CNN International for their work on slave markets in Libya.
The Judges' Awards went to "Exit Polls led by Sir John Curtice". The Outstanding Contribution Award went to Dorothy Byrne, who minds news and current affairs for C4 - next year, from Birmingham ?
