Gabriel Awards at 1645 Brook Lynn Dr., Suite 2, Dayton, OH 45432-1944 US - History of the Gabriel Awards
| History of the Gabriel Awards |
The Catholic Broadcasters Association (CBA) created the Gabriel Awards in 1965, to "recognize outstanding artistic achievement in a television or radio program or series which entertains and enriches with a true vision of humanity and a true visiion of life." Members hoped to influence the values broadcast into our homes. In 1972 CBA became Unda-USA. In 202 Unda-USA and Cine&Media merged to become the Catholic Academy. Like Gabriel, the Catholic Academy trumpets a call to commercial and religious broadcasters and producers to provide programming that serves, enriches and challenges audiences.
