At the Edinburgh Television Festival on Saturday, both BBC Two and BBC Four have won awards.
For the second year running, BBC Two picked up the award for "best terrestrial TV channel of the year." BBC Four won "best non-terrestrial channel," beating last year's winner MTV.
Winners are chosen by a panel of 13 media experts, which this year included the editor of Heat TV, Boyd Hilton.
Jana Bennett, director of television at the BBC, said: "Having a tribute like this from the industry is a fantastic testament to the quality of the creative work."
The judges commended BBC Two for its "amazing public service job," and commitment to new talent, while BBC Four was the channel they most wanted in their homes.
