BBC programming has led the way in the nominations for this year's Royal Television Society programme awards 2012, scooping 44 of the available 75 nominations in 25 categories.
BBC2 was the most nominated channel with 16 nods, one more than both BBC1 and Channel 4, which had 15 each.
Among the nominated BBC2 programmes are acclaimed police thriller Line of Duty, which will compete with BBC1 dramas Sherlock and Call the Midwife for the drama series prize. Line of Duty actor Lennie James will also vie for the best actor prize with Sean Bean for his role as a transsexual in BBC1 thriller Accused and Oliver Lansley, who played Kenny Everett in the BBC4 biopic of the late radio star.
Children's channel CBBC received three specific nominations, BBC3 received two and BBC4 had six nods, with generic BBC programmes which crossed channels receiving two, one for the Olympics coverage and one for London 2012 presenter Clare Balding.
Channel 4 also provided a strong showing with 15 nominations, including a nod for Charlie Brooker for Channel 4 satire 10 O'Clock Live. Brooker will compete with Ant and Dec and The Voice's Will.i.am for the best entertainment performance prize.
ITV claimed nine nominations in total, with seven for the main channel and one for ITV2 and one for STV. S4C had two nominations.
Overall, Sky scooped four nominations for all its channels including a nomination for Sky Atlantic Comedy Alan Partridge: Welcome to the Places of my Life, which will compete with Channel 4's Fresh Meat and BBC2's Olympics spoof Twenty Twelve for the scripted comedy award.
This year's RTS programme awards will be hosted by comedian, writer and actress Jo Brand at a ceremony on Tuesday 19 March at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
