The honorees are chosen each spring by a 16-member board of academics, TV critics, and experts in culture and the arts. They'll be handed out May 23.
King himself has received two Peabodys in his career. His first came in 1980 for his nightly syndicated radio program and his second in 1992 for the election coverage on his CNN show Larry King Live.
