The voting portal will be open and accessible to voting members via www.TRHOF.net through Monday, July 31st.
“We’ve been continually working to refine, streamline, and demystify the nomination and voting process” observes TRHOF Executive Director Doug Harris, “and this rollout represents a major step forward. We are fortunate to have a group of outstanding broadcasters for our voting members to consider and a rejuvenated balloting platform that includes their photos and biographical information for review.”
Over 200 broadcast professionals with ties to Texas radio were nominated for consideration by the TRHOF Review Committee, which reached a consensus on the final fifty. Voting members of the TRHOF will now determine the twenty individuals who will be honored in the TRHOF’s Annual Induction Ceremony at the Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, TX.
“We are very pleased with this slate of nominees, which spotlights the depth and breadth of Texas radio talent”, says Harris. “From the tower to the board to the conference room, this of list nominees features small town and major market representation, connected to a variety of formats and virtually every position of service in the broadcast world.”
Those selected for the 2023 Induction Class will be honored during the organization’s Annual Induction and Reunion Weekend, November 3-4, 2023, at the Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, Texas. Information on becoming a TRHOF voting member is available on the organization’s website and interested parties may still join—and vote—in this year’s selection.
