The Asian Television Awards (ATA) is the Asian television industry’s most significant and celebrated event, recognising excellence in programming, production and performance.

The awards represent the industry’s foremost recognition and enjoy the support of every major industry player throughout the Asia Pacific region.


Now into its 14th successful year, ATA remains as the only pan-Asian media event of considerable prestige and standing. It recognises talent, spurs industry progress, and enhances the glamour of regional media.


In order to keep the Awards current and incorporate the latest programming trends, categories are reviewed annually according to industry demand. This year, two new award categories have been introduced, namely, Best Cross-Platform Content and Best Achievement in HD (High Definition).


The Awards are determined by a panel of judges comprising well-known experts and leaders in the regional media industry who have strong programming or production background. Similar to last year, the judging process will be conducted on-line this year. The main purpose of an on-line judging is to provide the judges, with greater comfort and flexibility in screening the entries at their own pace.


We are proud to announce that ATA 2009 have received an impressive response of 1,020 entries from Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.



The winners of 33 awards were proudly announced at the ATA 2009 Gala Dinner held in Singapore on 3rd December, 2009.
