The University of Georgia’s George Foster Peabody Awards, considered among the most prestigious prizes in electronic media, and Pivot, Participant Media’s television network targeting millennials, have agreed to a multi-year strategic alliance beginning this year and spanning through 2016, the Peabodys’ 75th anniversary. The announcement was made today by Jeffrey P. Jones, director of the Peabody Awards, and Evan Shapiro, president of Pivot.

Beginning this spring, Pivot will be the exclusive broadcast home for the annual event. The network will produce and televise original prime-time specials spotlighting the annual winners selected by the Peabody adjudication board. (Source: Participant Media)
