The Texas Radio Hall of Fame (TRHOF) will open nominations for its 2026 induction class at noon on June 1, with voting members able to submit candidates through June 30 at the organization's website.

The nomination process marks the first phase in selecting the next class of inductees. Eligible candidates may be nominated by TRHOF voting members in good standing, a status that is open not only to broadcasters but also to fans, friends and family members of the industry.

Doug Harris, a 2011 Texas Radio Hall of Fame inductee who now serves as the organization's Executive Director, said the Hall will introduce a new recognition category for the 2026 class.

"During our 2025 nominations period, the TRHOF's Executive Board added a new category of recognition, the Lone Star Legacies, to accommodate worthy nominees who are deceased," Harris said. "For the 2026 season, we are introducing the 'Small Markets/Big Voices' category to salute those broadcast professionals who have built their careers serving listeners in small and medium size markets."

After nominations close, candidates will be reviewed by the TRHOF Review Committee, which is made up of former inductees. Committee members independently evaluate nominees and select up to 50 candidates to advance to the final ballot.

Voting members then determine the 20 individuals who will be inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.

The 2026 Induction Ceremony and Radio Reunion Weekend is scheduled for November 7-8 at the Texas Broadcast Museum in Kilgore, Texas. Event details, schedules and information on becoming a voting member are available through the Texas Radio Hall of Fame website.

Individuals interested in participating in this year's selection process may still join the organization and vote in the 2026 election cycle.
