Radio Hall of Fame Nominating Committee inductee

"Each year, I continue to be impressed by the caliber of our inductees, who deserve recognition for the high-quality radio they bring to listeners," said Radio Hall of Fame Chair Kraig Kitchin. "I'd like to thank the Nominating Committee members for their valuable time to being part of the voting process."

"The 2020 Class of inductees represents the diversity of voices that is heard on radio stations all across America," added Sun & Fun Media and Key Networks Chief Revenue Officer Dennis Green who also serves as chair of the Radio Hall of Fame Nominating Committee. "It's an honor to contribute my time to leading this committee."

"The Museum of Broadcast Communications has been proud to be the home of the Radio Hall of Fame since 1991," said the museum's board chair David Plier. "And this class of inductees is especially important as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of this still vital medium."

Three inductees were determined by a vote from a panel of 600 industry professionals, four were voted on by the Nominating Committee and two were a result of a public vote from the listening public. The votes were monitored by certified public accounting firm Miller Kaplan Arase, LLP.
