Now in its third year, the Awards have grown to become one of the premier endorsements of innovation in television. They are administered by IMS Research, and according to its President, Ian Weightman: “One of the main reasons that the TV Innovation Awards have become so sought after is that each entry is judged on a completely level playing field. This ensures that companies, ranging from the biggest names in consumer electronics to innovative start-ups, can measure objectively how their products stack-up against those of their competitors.”

The winner of the Innovator of the Year Award will be announced on January 9th at the IMS Research at CES Cocktail Party & Reception at the Monte Carlo at 7:00 PM in the East Ballroom. In addition, the winners of the 14 other categories will also be presented.
