Scully, Osgood Lifetime Achievement Awards: WFUV's Lasting Tributes to Icons

In the span of only a week, the two most distinguished WFUV Radio products and Fordham University alumni in broadcasting – Vin Scully and Charles Osgood – ride into a glorious sunset. Osgood’s last broadcast as host of CBS News’ Sunday Morning was last Sunday, September 25, after a 22-year run, while Scully calls his final game as “Voice of the Dodgers” this Sunday, October 2, after an amazing 67-year stint.

The renowned pair will forever remain intertwined among the greatest to ever hit the airwaves, and WFUV keeps each of the legacies at the forefront with the Vin Scully Lifetime Achievement Award in Sports Broadcasting and the Charles Osgood Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism. The ninth annual recipients – ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Brent Musburger and CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl – will be honored on Wednesday night, November 9, at “On the Record: A Celebration of Achievement in News and Sports Broadcasting,” a benefit for WFUV, at the Costantino Room at Fordham Law School (150 W. 62nd Street, NYC).
WFUV was the launching pad for both broadcast legends. WFUV is the noncommercial, member-supported public media service of Fordham University for nearly 70 years.
Previous Scully Award recipients include: inaugural honoree Scully (2008), Dick Enberg (2009), Ernie Harwell (2010), Pat Summerall(2011), Al Michaels (2012), Bob Costas (2013), Verne Lundquist (2014), and Mike “Doc” Emrick (2015).
