WGBH awards

WGBH has been recognized with hundreds of honors over the years — Emmys, Peabodys, duPont-Columbia Awards, even two Academy Awards. In 2002, a special Peabody Award cited WGBH’s 50 years of service to the community, the nation, and the world. Our most recent honors, listed here, are a testament to your tremendous support. Take a bow; we couldn't do it without you!
