Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame

There's a brand new organization celebrating and honoring the broadcasters and stations of Tennessee. The Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame was formed this year by Lee Dorman. Plans for the future include an awards banquet, exhibit space for Tennessee memorabilia, and induction of historic broadcasters to the Hall of Fame. Click here to visit the website.

 I'm the contact person for collecting airchecks, photos, and anything else for the museum.
 Let's kick off the fun with a lot of photos of Tennessee radio people in the studio! Click any image to enlarge.
