Awards

Peabody Award

1982 - Public Radio

For meritorious service in broadcasting for THE SUNDAY SHOW. The citation states, in part: “There is nothing that John Bos, the executive producer, and his excellent team…will not tackle. Their interests are wide-ranging and the quality they bring to the show is enormous. There really isn’t anything like it. And Americans everywhere who tine in are the better for it.”
