‘South Park’ ‘toon gets award for being edgy

[Sequoia]

The honor was announced Wednesday at the University of Georgia in Athens. The 9-year-old edgy ‘toon won praise from judges as TV’s boldest, most politically incorrect satirical series.

Two Gulf Coast stations that stayed on the air throughout Hurricane Katrina won awards as well, and CNN and NBC were honored for their coverage of the deadly storm.

WWL-TV, which judges said was the only New Orleans station to broadcast in the city through the hurricane and its aftermath, and WLOX-TV, which kept Biloxi, Miss., residents informed even after broadcasters were forced to the halls when the roof of their building was blown off, were both recognized for their coverage.

The George Foster Peabody Awards, for broadcasting excellence in news and entertainment, are given annually by UGA. Thirty-two awards will be handed out June 5 in New York, hosted by two-time recipient Jon Stewart, who anchors Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
