Spotlight on the Small Screen: Watch the 2025 Gotham TV Awards Live on WKYC+ This Monday at 7P


By Frank Macek

Television’s brightest stars are heading to New York City for one of the newest—and most talked-about—evenings in entertainment: The Gotham TV Awards. And for viewers in Northeast Ohio, WKYC Studios is proud to bring the excitement home with a free live stream of the full ceremony on WKYC+ this Monday, June 2nd beginning at 7 p.m. ET.

Whether you're a fan of bold new series, breakout performances, or just love the energy of an awards show that truly celebrates the art of television, this is an event you won’t want to miss.  

Now in just its second year, The Gotham TV Awards—presented by The Gotham Film & Media Institute—has already carved out a unique space in the TV awards landscape. Unlike other shows that focus heavily on established names and big-budget productions, the Gotham Awards highlight innovation, diversity, and creative risk-taking. These are the stories—and the storytellers—that are shaping what television is becoming, not just what it’s been.

And thanks to WKYC+, our free streaming platform available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and your mobile devices, you can watch it all live—without needing a subscription. Just download the WKYC app or head to the “Watch” section at WKYC.com to join the stream.

What to Expect from the 2025 Ceremony

Held at the iconic Cipriani Wall Street, this year’s event will be hosted by comedian and actress Michelle Buteau and will feature a slate of categories that now includes supporting performances and original broadcast/streaming films. That brings the total number of competitive awards to twelve—proof of just how fast the Gotham TV Awards are growing in both prestige and impact.

Leading the nominations is Netflix’s buzzed-about limited series Adolescence, with four nods including Breakthrough Limited Series and Outstanding Performance. Other notable titles include CBS's Matlock, the drama The Pitt, and Dying for Sex, each earning three nominations.

Tributes this year will honor a powerhouse lineup:

- Amy Sherman-Palladino & Daniel Palladino, creators of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  

- Hwang Dong-hyuk, director of Squid Game  

- Parker Posey, acclaimed actress of stage and screen  

- David E. Kelley, prolific television writer and producer  

Expect memorable speeches, emotional moments, and a showcase of creative voices who are redefining the medium.
