Indy joins largest markets in rare Peabody feat

When IBJ newsgathering partner WISH-TV Channel 8 and cross-town rival WTHR-TV Channel 13 each won a Peabody award last week, it was a rare event for any television market, let alone Indianapolis, the 25^th-largest television market.

WISH received its award for a series that explained how a $30 helmet pad could save soldiers’ lives in a blast. WTHR received two—one for exposing problems with the state’s tornado warning system and another for showing how area pharmacies discarded patient subscription records into open dumpsters.
