British Academy Television Award
The BAFTA TV Awards, or British Academy Television Awards are presented in an annual award show hosted by the BAFTA. They have been awarded annually since 1955. Background The first-ever Awards, given in 1955, consisted of six categories. Until 1958, they were awarded by the Guild of Television Producers and Directors. From 1958 onwards, after the Guild had merged with the British Film Academy, the organisation was known as the Society of Film and Television Arts. In 1976, this became the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. From 1968 until 1997, the BAFTA Film and Television awards were presented in one joint ceremony known simply as the BAFTA Awards, but in order to streamline the ceremonies from 1998 onwards they were split in two. The Television Awards are usually presented in April, with a separate ceremony for the Television Craft Awards on a different date. The Craft Awards are presented for more technical areas of the industry, such as special effects, productio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Monday Night Football (British TV Programme)
''Monday Night Football'' (''MNF'') (also known as ''Bet365 or Renault Monday Night Football'' for sponsorship reasons) is a British football programme on Sky Sports which broadcasts live English football from the Premier League. Original run Sky television's acquisition of rights to broadcast live Premier League football from the start of the 1992–93 season saw them attempt innovations such as digital on-screen graphics (DOG) and Monday Night live games. The first Monday Night Football game broadcast was between Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers on 17 August 1992, which ended in a 1–1 draw. To give the broadcasts a different look to Sky's '' Super Sunday'' strand, the broadcaster introduced the ''Sky Strikers'', a dance troupe similar to American cheerleaders. This pre-match and half-time entertainment was dropped after the first season. The show had a number of different formats after its launch. The first change led to the merging of Andy Gray's Boot Room form ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
