The Eutelsat TV Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation in thematic satellite television, took place on Friday 28 November 2014 in Rome. Over 100 channels from 20 countries participated in this year s competition, with their programming formats, innovation and audience relationship judged by an independent panel of media experts representing the world s most dynamic broadcasting markets.

Michel de Rosen, CEO of Eutelsat commented at the awards ceremony, Television sits at the heart of the digital media industry, boosted by multi-screen viewing and by social networks that are stimulating a global conversation.

Longstanding channels which took home awards included Mexico s Canal Once, Euronews, Eurosport and MTV Live HD. These channels were commended for continually challenging their relationship with their growing audience base. A newly launched channel awarded for quickly developing their identity was Turkey s Moviemax Turk HD, while Russia s Kinoklub, Italy s DMAX and Rai Yoyo and Spiegel TV Wissen from Germany stood out for high production standards and developing a clear and distinctive brand. Eurochannel received the People s Choice Award which is awarded to the channel with the highest number of votes from its fan base.
