LIN TV Corp. (NYSE: TVL) today announced that two of its stations,
WTNH-TV (New Haven) and WISH-TV (Indianapolis), are winners of this
year's George Foster Peabody Awards, claiming two of only four
awards given to television stations. WTNH-TV�s Alan Cohn and the
Team-8 earned a Peabody Award for Defective Parts on Blackhawk
Helicopters, a story that was developed over the past three years
regarding allegations that defective helicopter parts were being
installed on Blackhawk helicopters at a local Sikorsky Aircraft
plant. The coverage led to a shake-up in the company�s management
and an investigation by the Defense Department Inspector General.
WISH-TV�s Karen Hensel and I-Team 8 earned a Peabody Award for its
investigative series Command Mistake, uncovering startling truths
about the safety of U.S. Military helmets currently used in Iraq
and why they lacked $30 in padding that could make the difference
between walking away from a blast and suffering brain injury or
even death. �We are extraordinarily proud that WTNH-TV and WISH-TV
are two out of only four local stations in the country to receive
the Peabody Award - considered one of journalism�s most prestigious
honors,� said Vincent Sadusky, president and chief executive
officer of LIN TV. �It is another example of how great television
can make a positive impact on the lives of so many.� The Peabody
Awards are American broadcasting's most honorable prize. The
stations are among 35 winners from TV, radio and the Internet. They
represent the �best of the best in electronic media,� said Peabody
Awards Director Horace Newcomb during a recent telecast. The awards
will be presented June 4th at a luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel in New York City. About LIN TV LIN TV (NYSE: TVL) delivers
