The Times dropped sponsorship in 1960, at which point radio simulcasts moved from WQXR (AM) to WNBC (AM). Thereafter, Gordon continued the show as Dorothy Gordon's Youth Forum, winning a Peabody Award in 1966. Gordon continued to host the show until her death in 1970.[citation needed] The show also appeared first-run as late as April 23, 1967 (with guest Otto Preminger) on WNBC-TV.
