Ugly Betty, Heroes, High School Musical 2 and Pushing Daisies were among the winners at The Ninth Annual Family Television Awards last night in Beverly Hills.
The awards, sponsored by the Family Friendly Programming Forum, are the only ones that recognize outstanding programming for family viewing. The members of the Association of National Advertisers select the winners. PHIL KEOGHAN of The Amazing Race hosted the ceremony, which took place at the Beverly Hilton. He noted that years ago, nearly all television was considered family television. Keoghan explained, "People used to sit down and watch television as families when the choices were very limited." He added, "Today the choices are huge and there's so much variety that there's less family television."
