about us
|
The "Broadcasters Hall of Fame", Akron, Ohio, was originally founded in October 1982 by C. S. "Doc" Williams, as the Radio Hall of Fame
The names and by-laws were changed in 1990 to include television and to become a national industry wide non-profit organization incorporated with a registered logo.
The purpose of the Broadcasters Hall of Fame is to memorialize the Golden Age of broadcasting and to promote furtherance of the art of broadcasting. This encompasses recognizing and honoring those persons who have made notable contributions
to the broadcasting industry. To that end, we shall maintain an exhibit of broadcasting memorabilia, past and present.
