2023 Broady Awards for Best in Network Television

This page was made on a laptop and for a desktop/laptop screen. Our apologies if it looks a little (or completely) wonky on a phone. 

The Broady Awards are The Word's own little awards for the best on the broadcast network television stations - ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, NBC and PBS. The stations you could hook an old-school antenna up and have access to watch. The networks that long ago (at least in the case of most of them) were the only options for TV watching. Despite receiving little love from the big television awards ceremonies and talk in the pop culture zeitgeist, the networks are still the most watched and feature many of the shows that are among the most-watched on television. These awards are solely for those networks and the shows on them. 

Below are the nominations for the 14th annual Broady Awards. The winners will be announced in the first week of August.
