COLUMBUS, OH (June 10, 2025) |
The nationally celebrated series Opportunity Knocks, featuring Telhio Credit Union, was honored with the Award of Excellence from the 31st Annual Communicator Awards—the highest honor from one of the largest and most competitive awards programs in communications.
In May 2024, Telhio Credit Union was selected by the producers of Opportunity Knocks, a finance reality TV series, to premiere within a 12-week segment during season two of the show. This latest recognition comes on the heels of prior accolades during the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards in December 2024. This brings a total of 18 national and global awards to Opportunity Knocks since its inception in 2022, highlighting the transformative power of financial empowerment and storytelling.
The show's financial empowerment tools, The Opportunity Finder and The Opportunity Coach, help viewers create sustainable solutions by partnering with them as they find local resources and strategies to transform financial struggle to financial wellness.
"We extend our congratulations to Opportunity Knocks for this tremendous honor," shared Derrick Bailey, CEO of Telhio Credit Union. "Telhio is proud to play a role in this show’s success by supplying financial services to local families in our community.”
The 31st Annual Communicator Awards ceremony celebrated this year’s theme, “Communication is Connection,” where Opportunity Knocks was recognized for its emotionally resonant storytelling and real-world impact. The series received top honors in three major categories:
· Motivational Series
· Documentary Series
· Non-Profit Series
Opportunity Knocks on PBS continues to shine a light on families overcoming financial challenges—and the organizations that support their journey. Telhio is proud to be a part of this life-changing work.
