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.

Additionally, three individual and institutional winners have been announced for Peabody Awards, which are based out of the University of Georgia. Late-night titan David Letterman and documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson will be recognized for their contributions to electronic media, and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” will receive an institutional Peabody.

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.

Peabody Awards Director Jeffrey P. Jones said, “What better way to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Peabody Awards than to recognize two individuals and a television program that have transformed the cultural landscape through their unique contributions.”

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).
