'Pretty confident' | |
The BBC dominated the awards, with 32 nominations. | |
For the first time since 2004, STV received no nominations, at a time when the broadcaster says it is concentrating on local programming. | |
Alan Clements, director of content at STV, said he was disappointed by the lack of programmes in the running. | |
"It's a shame there's not an STV representation," he said. | |
"But next year I'm pretty confident there will be because obviously production takes a long time and we're only getting going with it." | |
The awards, which celebrate the best of Scottish film, TV and multimedia, were held in Glasgow's Science Centre. |
