A seriously poor haul in the New Year's Honours list for the BBC; and some of those in the media who were honoured in this list already had one gong to their name.
The two-timers included Moira Stuart, Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis and David Nicholson, chair of Radio Tyneside.
Newcomers were Kate Garraway, GMB and Smooth Radio; Margherita Taylor, Classic FM and occasional Countryfile presenter; Siobhan Kenny, recently-departed CEO of commercial radio lobby group Radiocentre; Sally Debonnaire, about to step down as Director of Production, ITV; Dave Sharp, running community radio station Academy FM in Folkestone for ten years; and Mark Murphy, breakfast presenter at Radio Suffolk, where he's worked for more than 30 years.
Perhaps it's time to remind ourselves of the Government's Committee looking at Arts & Media honours:
