Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher and Martin Tyler were winners at the annual Football Supporters' Federation awards on Monday night.
Former Liverpool defender Carragher took the Pundit of the Year award for a second year running, while Tyler won the Commentator of the Year gong for a fourth time.
Carragher, on Sky Sports since 2013, said: "I'm delighted to get the award. There's a lot of competition out there.
"That's what you want, you want viewers at home to watch it, enjoy it, and maybe think your opinion is valued or agree with it.
"The great thing about doing the job I do now is you're out of that Liverpool bubble, if you like, and we can talk about Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City and the like, and different players. So hopefully some of their fans voted and it wasn't just Liverpool fans!"
Tyler, who has been at Sky for 26 years, said: "Television, like football, is a team game, so I must thank Sky Sports for continuing to pick me week in, week out in their exceptional team. It's a great group to be part of.
"I must also thank Leicester City for giving us a wonderful year to commentate on, and also the excitement of this new season, with the top clubs going hell for leather at the top, it does make it much easier to commentate on.
"It's a great privilege, support from the supporters is really special in my job."
