BBC Sport was voted the sports broadcaster of the year at the 2024 Broadcast Sport Awards ceremony.
The department was praised for setting world-leading standards for coverage, while Gabby Logan won the presenter of the year award and Clare Balding received an outstanding contribution to sports broadcasting award.
Former American track star Michael Johnson, who was part of BBC Sport's coverage at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, was the pundit of the year, with Laura Kenny being highly commended in the category.
Independent production company Whisper, which includes BBC Sport among its clients, won annual production of the year for the BBC Women's FA Cup final.
"These incredible wins are a testament to the huge year of sport that the BBC has brought to audiences across the UK," said BBC director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski.
"We have world-class teams both on and off air bringing people together for the biggest sporting moments and delivering the highest standard of content year in year out, and for this to be recognised is something everyone can be proud of."
