Belfast indie Erica Starling Productions was the big winner on the night, taking home two prizes from the Northern Ireland Programme Awards 2016.
Find Me a Family, a BBC One NI series that followed the lives of children through the care system,scooped the Factual Award, while Kids in Crisis for Channel 4’s Dispatches took the Current Affairs Award.
The awards recognise programmes which have made a positive contribution to their genre through their originality, innovation or supremely high standard, and from which other programme makers can learn and develop. These criteria of originality, creative risk-taking and standard setting quality apply to the performance as well.

This years awards will be presented at a gala dinner held at The National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull on the evening of Thursday 3rd November. Our compere for the evening will be ITV News Central's Sameena Ali Khan.
