“The 74th Annual Peabody Awards on Pivot” will air Sunday, June 21 at 9pm ET premiering on Pivot, Participant Media’s TV network. The 90-minute original primetime special combines the best of the May 31 New York awards ceremony and red carpet hosted by actor-producer-writer Fred Armisen, along with spotlights on many of the winners.
The Peabody Awards, based at the University of Georgia’s College of Journalism and Mass Communication, are the oldest awards in electronic media and among the world’s most prestigious and selective prizes. They recognize excellence and meritorious work by radio and television stations, networks, webcasters, podcasters, producing organizations and individuals. The 17-member Peabody Board of Jurors is a distinguished panel of television critics, industry practitioners, scholars and experts in culture and the arts. Last year, Pivot’s special celebrated more than half of the 46 winners — including “Scandal, “ “Orange is the New Black,” “Orphan Black,” and “Breaking Bad” — with clips and never-before-seen interviews with recipients, among them Bryan Cranston, Tom Brokaw, Anthony Bourdain, Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.
