Sad to share the news that Barbara Bernard, pioneering radio and television personality and 2024 Mass. Broadcasters Hall of Fame inductee, died yesterday at 97.

We are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Russ Morash. A long-time member of the GBH family, Russ was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. He invented how-to television and, together with GBH, launched a new genre of programming that established public television in the minds of millions of viewers like you. His groundbreaking work embodied the innovative spirit that has always defined GBH.

Russ first joined GBH in 1957 and for more than 40 years, he was instrumental in creating iconic shows that spanned generations, including The French Chef with Julia Child, The Victory Garden, This Old House, and The New Yankee Workshop. Visionary and groundbreaking when they first premiered, these award-winning shows helped to change the way Americans interacted with television, giving audiences the confidence that they could succeed in the kitchen, and the knowledge they needed in order to tackle any and all home renovation projects.

Over the years, Russ has been honored with 14 Emmy awards and a Lifetime Achievement award from the Emmys / Television Academy. He was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame Hall of Fame in 2018. He always attributed his success to his team. He is memorialized on today's overlooking the Mass Pike in Boston. Rest easy, RM. 🙏
