“Voting to determine six of the eight inductees opens Tuesday, May 27, and runs through Monday, June 16. Nearly 1,000 industry members will receive confidential ballots, administered by Votem.com and overseen by Miller Kaplan partner Andrew Rosen. The six nominees receiving the most votes will be inducted into this year’s Hall of Fame class, with two additional honorees selected directly by the Nominating Committee.
‘This will be the 37th Radio Hall of Fame class inducted, and it is an honor to recognize broadcasters that have made an impact on the radio industry and in many cases continue that work today,’ Dennis Green, Co-Chairman of the Radio Hall of Fame, said in a release. ‘Congratulations to all the nominees!’
Kraig Kitchin, who serves as Co-Chairman alongside Green, emphasized the significance of the recognition: ‘To receive this recognition for your on-air talents and audience connections is special, particularly given the number of suggestions received for nominations and the Nominating Committee’s extensive deliberations.’”
