The 60 Peabody Finalists

For the first time in its 75-year history, 60 finalists have been named by the Peabody Awards’ Board of Jurors for 2015, from which a set number of winning programs will be chosen. To be known as The Peabody 30, these selections will be unveiled beginning next week, and honored at the 75th anniversary Peabody ceremony on May 21 in New York.

The Peabody 30 will be revealed in a succession of announcements by category, beginning April 19 with the news, radio/podcast, public service and Web winners via Facebook Live. Entertainment and children’s/youth winners will be announced on The Today Show on April 21, and documentary and educational winners via Facebook Live on April 26.

The gala will be televised in a 90-minute special, “The 75th Anniversary Peabody Awards,” airing on Pivot, Monday, June 6 (8 p.m. ET/PT).
