Radio Personalities have been a staple within a number of communities. From speaking on issues that are not talked about and need to be, to being a voice of comfort to the people and or bringing in a different perspective many almost feel like their radio personality is part of their family, which is why it comes to no surprise that our morning show the Breakfast Club was nominated to be inducted into the Radio Hall Of Fame. Others like legendary personality Donnie Simpson-WMMJ-FM Washington D.C., another iHeart Radio member Angie Martinez, and well-known personality Sway.
The votes will be monitored by certified public accounting firm Miller Kaplan Arase. Inductees will be announced on Aug. 17. Premiere Networks has signed on as this year’s first sponsor of the live broadcast. nsideradio.com
