Awards
In 2007, Milne was appointed Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
"It's no coincidence that this has happened at the time of the 30th anniversary of Fair Go. The honour is not only for the time I spent on Fair Go, but it's also for all the people who've been part of the show over the years. It's a remarkable show that's lasted a fantastically long time, and it's astonishing how many have worked on it." - Kevin Milne
He also won two Qantas Media Awards for Best Presenter.
