Singapore, 22 May 2026 – Mediacorp has been named Broadcaster of the Year at the New York Festivals (NYF) TV & Film Awards 2026, marking a major milestone in its continued rise on the global stage. Awarded to the network with the highest overall score and largest medal tally across all categories, the honour reflects the depth, consistency and impact of Mediacorp’s work, spanning genres and platforms, and distinguished by its creative excellence, innovative approach and compelling storytelling. This accolade marks Mediacorp’s second Broadcaster of the Year win this year, following its earlier recognition at the World Media Festivals Television & Corporate Media Awards 2026.

This top honour anchors a strong international showing across two major industry platforms – the NYF TV & Film Awards and NYF Radio Awards – where Mediacorp secured a total of 22 wins: 13 Gold, three Silver, six Bronze. Together, these achievements underscore Mediacorp’s role as Singapore’s national media network, delivering trusted journalism, spotlighting issues that matter, while also creating engaging content that connects with audiences locally and around the world.

New York Festivals TV & Film Awards

At the NYF TV & Film Awards, Mediacorp garnered 13 Gold, three Silver and five Bronze. These accolades are led by CNA’s slate of current affairs and documentary programmes, which continue to help global audiences understand Asia. One “Orphan” Every Hour stood out with two Golds in “Documentary: Human Rights” and “Craft Programme: Direction”, while Vapours of Death, Addicted: The Synthetic Curse and Undercover Asia S12: Inside the Illegal ‘Dunki’ Route, produced by Clay Studios, each secured Gold, reflecting CNA’s strength in delivering credible, in-depth storytelling that builds understanding and shines a spotlight on pressing issues.

Mediacorp also received recognition for its creative and promotional content, including two Golds for the Emerald Hill Launch Campaign and Blockbuster Sunday: Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning, recognising its ability to combine creative excellence with compelling storytelling and distinctive, multi-platform experiences.

New York Festivals Radio Awards

Mediacorp’s momentum also extends into audio, with one Bronze at the NYF Radio Awards for CNA Correspondent in “Podcast: News Podcast”, which further recognises Mediacorp’s efforts to reach audiences across formats and deepen engagement beyond the screen.

In addition to these wins, Mediacorp received 29 Finalist Diplomas, including Post, Love (My Father Died, Twice) , produced by 1 UpMedia, and Korban Part 2, produced by Monochromatic Pictures. Collectively, these achievements reflect Mediacorp’s integrated approach to content creation, where trusted journalism sits alongside premium entertainment, and innovation continues to open new ways to inform, engage and connect with audiences.

Tham Loke Kheng, CEO of Mediacorp, said: “Being named Broadcaster of the Year at the New York Festivals affirms the work our people and partners do every day to inform, engage and serve audiences in Singapore and beyond. This recognition is especially gratifying as it follows our recent second consecutive Broadcaster of the Year win at the World Media Festivals.”

“As Singapore’s national media network, we take seriously our role in delivering trusted news and insightful documentaries, while creating entertainment that resonates across genres, platforms and communities.
