AVTA 2017: Nominations list

Nominations shortlist for the fourth annual Asian Viewers Television Awards (AVTA) have been revealed exclusively on BizAsiaLive.com.

The UK’s only event dedicated to Asian television, is known for its high-end production value, giving platform to the best talent being broadcast on Asian television in the UK. The event helmed by media legend, Rajan Singh, will take place in December.

Interestingly, this year’s nominations include a mixture of Star Plus, ZEE TV and Colors shows and talent. Sony Entertainment Television has been omitted completely. What made a difference to the nominations process this year is that submission of nominations were geo-locked to the UK territory only. Top programmes such as ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’, ‘Naamkarann’ and ‘Meri Durga’ did not make the list year, despite a huge following in UK ratings.

BizAsiaLive.com is the official partner up for the event for the fourth consecutive event.
