TORONTO, March 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Bell Media today applauds its internal
production team and its partners on being honoured with 45 wins during

leading voice in the development and creation of homegrown, original
content.

Space original production ORPHAN BLACK has taken home eight awards thus
far, and is up for more categories on Sunday's televised award
broadcast. TSN was honoured with seven awards, which include a tie for Best Host in a Sports Program or Series between NHL ON TSN's James Duthie and SPORTSCENTRE's Rod Smith, as well
as accolades for its comprehensive coverage of the historic 100(th) GREY CUP. After decades on the air, MTV's DEGRASSI still resonates with
fans and the production community, winning four, and THE AMAZING RACE
CANADA also hit its mark winning all three of its categories.



CTV News picked up four awards on Tuesday night, furthering its position
as Canada's national, local, and factual news programming leader. CTV
News won Best National Newscast for CTV NATIONAL NEWS WITH LISA LAFLAMME, Best News Anchor, Local for CTV News Toronto's Ken Shaw, and Best News Information Segment for W5's "THE SURVIVOR". Additionally, W5 - Canada's longest-running
documentary program -- received the Gordon Sinclair Award for Broadcast Journalism, recognizing the outstanding contributions of television journalists.
This Special Achievement Award marked the first time a television
program has been recognized with this award, which traditionally
honours the work of individuals. On Wednesday, CTV News received the Outstanding Technical Achievement Award for its innovative iGATEWAY technology, an internally developed HD app
that accelerates file transfers from a reporter/producer in the field
to the editing suite.



"Congratulations to everyone involved in these award-winning
productions," said Kevin Crull, President, Bell Media. "We are so proud
of our team and our partners who work so hard every day to deliver
excellence. This recognition is important and well-deserved."



Once again, fans in Toronto can get in on the action during Canadian
