“These Legends of Broadcasting may have passed on, but their legacy and what they meant to the radio industry will never die,” says Dennis Green, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame. “The Radio Hall of Fame Nominating Committee is honored to award Hall of Fame Inductions to each of these individuals. May their contributions be a lasting tribute and inspiration for generations of broadcasters to emulate for years to come.”

Kraig Kitchin, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, adds “Our Nominating Committee recognizes the history of our medium and the countless individuals who contributed to the dominant influence of radio for so many decades. Each of these individuals left an indelible mark on the audiences they connected with and the businesses that they were associated with. We’re grateful for their talents, and only regret that they were not able to receive this special recognition while alive.”
