The Library of American Broadcasting Foundation (LABF) will recognize nine distinguished industry leaders and celebrities for lifetime achievement on November 9 during the LABF’s GIANTS OF BROADCASTING & ELECTRONIC ARTS virtual awards ceremony.
The annual event, hosted by ABC News’ “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, will be produced for LABF by the International Radio and Television Society Foundation (IRTSF). The Giants of Broadcasting celebration was created by LABF, a charity dedicated to preserving the past, reflecting the present, and informing the future. It was created to honor the remarkable creators, innovators, leaders, performers, and journalists who have brought the electronics arts to the prominence they occupy today.
LABF has honored more than 200 leaders in broadcasting since the event’s inception in 2003. Proceeds from the luncheon support the work of the LABF, including the Library of American Broadcasting, which is housed at the University of Maryland.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will support IRTSF’s student training and diversity initiatives.
The virtual event, from noon-2pm Eastern, will include brief remarks from each of the award winners.
