Membership in the Nebraska Radio Personalities Hall of Fame is open to those who have (a) spent at least a considerable amount of their radio career in Nebraska and have  (b) made some significant contribution to the betterment of the medium through their talent, creativity or what they came to mean to their community through their position in radio.

CATEGORIES

There will be three major divisions in the Nebraska Radio Personalities Hall of Fame:

PERSONALITIES HALL OF FAME (elected category)

This is our main core. These individuals stand out and are inducted for being major contributors to the lifestyles of radio listeners in Nebraska.  (Perhaps they were particularly clever, innovative, wild or stone cold sober...they were the friend who was there day after day and were a cut well above the norm.   

An annual vote determines the inductees who are nominated and receive a majority vote.   

INDUCTEES:  Maximum of 7

 

LEGENDARY PERSONALITIES (elected category)

This is a group of broadcasters who are primarily known for their work elsewhere, yet spent a part of their career in Nebraska radio.  We have an unbelievable wealth of national heroes who have traveled through Nebraska in their careers.  This category recognizes those who may have worked briefly in Nebraska or hailed from Nebraska, but made their mark elsewhere.  An annual vote determines the inductees who are nominated and receive a majority vote.   

INDUCTEES:  Maximum of 3

 

LOCAL HEROES, SIDEKICKS, AND MENTORS (nominated-only category)

This is a special, nominations-only category.  Regional radio 'legends' -- the news guy who has been at the same station for 80 years, or the staff announcer who rose through the ranks to become an owner.  Perhaps the announcer who didn’t get the main credit but, you know, worked just as hard as the Big Guy.  This category also includes mentors who may have taught you much of what you know about radio or otherwise impressed you.  All nominations must include at least a brief paragraph describing that person’s contributions to radio.  This information will be included on the web site.  (Anonymity maintained by request.)  INDUCTEES:  To be determined by the Board of Directors.
