1 October 2013 Last updated at 07:41 ET TV programmes which are only broadcast online to UK audiences are to be eligible for 2014's Bafta's TV awards. US-made shows such as Netflix's House of Cards and Breaking Bad will only be eligible for the international award as well as the audience award. Bafta said the changes reflect "Trends among the viewing public" for watching shows not broadcast on TV. The academy added that the change ensured the awards would "Remain relevant". Bafta's changes come into force for both the Television Craft Awards on 27 April 2014 and the Television Awards on 18 May, with entry for both open from 1 October to 3 December this year.
