He may be referring to the Radio Hall of Fame put on by Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications.

Radio Hall of Fame

The Radio Hall Of Fame is a non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing those who have contributed to the development of the radio medium throughout its history in the United States.

Actually, I was mistaken. There is a hall of fame, and it is under the NAB.

BTW, Tim Wenger from WBEN was also inducted last night, so it was a big night for Audacy. They were well-represented at the event. Even Janet's mom & dad showed up. Maybe Paul Snyder will buy what's left of Audacy Buffalo if he can get a public subsidy to pay a substantial part of the cost.

No public money unless some of them can catch a 30-yard pass.

There's plenty of public money and tax breaks for developers, especially if they can prove something is historic or they promise lots of jobs created or saved. I think Audacy Buffalo has already disqualified itself on those grounds.

Well thanks for acknowledging one. We all make them.
The NAB site has been around for a while.

It's interesting that Nikola Tesla's wireless experiments actually pre dated Marconi's. Perhaps the Marconi Awards should have been Tesla's. The Niagara River was one site of Tesla's experiments...

If you mean this, it was announced a while ago:

Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame | Kiss 98.5

Janet Snyder to be inducted into Buffalo Broadcasters Hall of Fame | Kiss 98.5

I wonder how many posters here listen to KISS,

they have been riding that pony for a while huh...

Janet has a sort-of diverse crew of 50-somethings. It sounds like she's got the 18-34 moms and the 34-44s who shop at "Forever 21" and their kids. As mentioned, none of the above are well-represented on this board.

Ok _ well said.
I didn't mean to be so disrespectful in my OP, but with me, less is more

Some thoughts for me on Janet's induction into the BBHOF: First, respect needs to be put on her name for what she's accomplished. Second, consider this: When she moved over to AM drive all those years ago, females were seen as the sidekick to the male half of the morning show-at least in Buffalo. Not anymore. Look at how many women are the lead in mornings or do the show solo in Buffalo:

-Laura Daniels/WHTT
-Liz Mantel/WLKK
-Cassiday Procter/WEDG(she's the Cass of Cass & Anthony; personally, I consider her a younger, hipper, somewhat more adult version of Janet)

Laura Daniels was/is a horrible choice for the morning show on WHTT.

'cept she's got the gig, so apparently somebody who makes decisions and pays her thinks otherwise.

I guess you don't like her, huh? Thank goodness you've got "Wakeup Niagara" on WLVL available that may be more your speed.
