The Broadcasters Foundation of America has announced Scripps Sports President Brian Lawlor will be awarded the 2025 Golden Mic Award.
At the foundation’s annual black-tie fundraiser on Monday, March 10th, Lawlor will be recognized for his work in the broadcasting field and in the community.
“I am honored at this recognition from the Broadcasters Foundation, a charity that brings much-needed help to our colleagues,” Lawlor said. “I have been a supporter of the Foundation and serve on their Board, and I know first-hand the heartbreaking stories of those who we help.”
The Golden Mic Award is given annually to an individual for their excellence in and commitment to broadcasting, and their ongoing service to the community at large.
“Brian is a leader in broadcasting, who guided Scripps to expand their portfolio of stations and become one of the largest television groups in America,” noted Broadcasters Foundation chair Scott Herman. “His hard work at advancing the mission of the Broadcasters Foundation, as well as his contributions to the television industry, makes him a perfect candidate to receive the Golden Mic Award.”
Brian Lawlor has served as the President of Scripps Sports since December 2022. He ascended to that role after working at the company for 14 years. He led its local media division from 10 local television stations in 2009 to 61 today.
“Brian is a highly respected member of the television broadcasting community and a staunch supporter of the Broadcasters Foundation,” added Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy. “We are delighted to bestow on him this well-deserved honor.”
