About a month ago, we told you that a new era was coming for TV Squad. Well, it came a few days later than we anticipated, but, as you can see, that era has started, and I'm really excited to let you know about the changes to the site.

As we said in March, the two AOL TV blogs, TV Squad and Inside TV, have joined forces to create a bigger, better TV Squad. Now, we'll be covering much more of the world of TV than we have before, whether it's the finale of 'Lost' or yet another wedding show on the Style network.

With the merger of the two sites comes a redesign. Come with me after the jump to read about the changes, both cosmetic and under the hood.

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for is here -- we're now ready to announce the winners of the first annual TV Squad Awards!

During our call for nominations we received hundreds of comments for potential nominees, all of which were discussed among the TV Squad team before reaching our final list for each award. Once the nominees were announced, the votes poured in for the Readers' Choice award in each category -- thousands of votes when all totaled.

We hope you enjoyed these awards as much as we have. Being as this is only the first year for these awards, there may be tweaks to be made with the categories, so don't be surprised to see some additions or subtractions next year. Let us know what you liked or didn't like. And now, without further ado, follow below for each award's winner announcement page.
