ABC7 wins Peabody Award for coverage of 2025 January wildfires

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- ABC7, along with ABC News, has been recognized with a Peabody Award for our coverage of the 2025 January wildfires.

The Peabody is one of the biggest awards in journalism.

The Palisades Fire and deadly Eaton Fire last year upended thousands of lives, turning several communities into disaster zones.

The award highlights the work we did during the firestorm, bringing you important updates about the fires as they burned and our ongoing coverage of the recovery efforts.

We're proud of the work we've done and the work we continue to do to serve our viewers as we work to recover together.
