2008_4_2.peabody.jpg The Peabody Award winners were announced today, and among them is Chicagoist fave Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me. The Peabody board describes the show thusly: "A zippy update of one of broadcasting's long-ago staples, this live quiz show reminds listeners of the week's news even as host Peter Sagal and various panelists make witty sport of it."

Peabodys are arguably the most prestigious awards in broadcast, and there are no set categories or numbers of winners. [Full list of winners, and our previous adoration of WWDT: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
