TV - RTS Scotland Awards 2019


The Royal Television Society’s (RTS) Scotland Centre have announced the winners of the RTS Scotland Awards 2019...

The event was hosted at The Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow by presenter Jennifer Reoch and stand-up comedian and presenter Des Clarke.

The Cry, boasting six nominations, secured the award for the Drama Category, with BBC Social winning the Short Form Category for which they received all three nominations. MG ALBA also celebrated taking home three awards across its six nominations for Children’s, Comedy and Camera. 

 RTS Scotland this year introduced the new Writer category which was awarded to Lorna Martin for Women On The Verge while the winner of the Young Journalist Award, Ceri Isfryn, received a prize of £1000 donated in memory of George Sinclair, the former BBC Scotland News and Current Affairs Editor, from the Sinclair Trust.

The prestigious RTS Scotland Award went to Stuart Cosgrove whose award was present to him ahead of schedule on 1st June whilst on air with his regular Saturday BBC Radio Scotland slot, Off The Ball.. This industry award is for the outstanding contribution to television in Scotland and could apply to any aspect of the industry, broadcasting, production or technical sectors in Scotland and beyond, with a particular focus on the past 12 months (January to December 2018). It is open to individuals, teams and organisations whose work, either in front of the camera or behind the scenes, should have made a significant and lasting impact on audiences and viewers in Scotland. In 2018, Stuart Cosgrove led the Scotland team, who campaigned vigorously and successfully to bring one of the Channel 4 Hubs to Glasgow. A Creative Hub which will enable Channel 4 to harness the city’s rich cultural diversity, to further improve on-screen representation, and to work with the sector and the region’s educational establishments to grow the pipeline of new talent into the production and broadcast industries.


Lisa Hazlehurst, Head of Lion Television and Chair of the RTS Scotland Awards said:“What a great year it has been for the creative industries in Scotland. We received a record number of entries with increased submissions for the Professional Excellence, Craft categories. Scotland’s Television industry continues to expand and the high standard of submissions demonstrate what brilliant programmes are being produced here.”

April Chamberlain, Chair of RTS Scotland, added “For 2019, we are delighted to have introduced a new Writer Award. We've had more Gaelic entries than ever before, plus a number of independent companies new to the RTS Awards submitting entries for the first time.”
