Country Radio Hall of Fame Rescheduled for September 3


The Country Radio Broadcasters has announced that the 2020 Country Radio Hall of Fame Induction and Dinner ceremony is rescheduled due to uncertainties surrounding the recent spread of COVID-19. The annual event, initially scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, will take place on Thursday, September 3, at the Westin Nashville.

CRB's Board President, Kurt Johnson, commented, "For the safety of our Country family attending the ceremony, we are delaying the CRHOF event, and encourage everyone to stay safe. I want to say congratulations to the Class of 2020. While we are sad to hold off an evening celebrating you, it will definitely be all the sweeter when we can gather later. See you then!"

As previously announced, the 2020 Country Radio Hall of Fame inductees include three off-air radio broadcasters and three on-air radio personalities. The off-air honorees are Jim Duncan, Victor Sansone, and George Beasley. The on-air honorees are Tim Wilson, Chuck Edwards, and Mark "Hawkeye" Louis.

The Country Radio Hall of Fame is dedicated to the recognition of those individuals who have made significant contributions to the radio industry over a 20-year period, 15 of which must be in the Country format.
