Art and 8 others. One is not even a broadcaster, but a music person. Commitee is too Indy friendly adn the IBA has always catered to those who have $$$$

Surely you are kidding about Art being added to the IBA hall of fame? I think it is time to cancel my membership.

I never graced an IBA meeting and made no contribution – neither did Bob Nowicki when U93 was billing over 4-mil/year with TWO street sales reps in the early 80s. Can some of you recall who was a “billboard” for the IBA Hall of Fame fraternity at that time? [Jeopardy music is playing]... “Who is Jinzey Bingham”... She maintained the world-famous WJNZ in Greencastle, IN [note the convenient call-letter/owner association]. It was a 3kw FM that couldn’t “justify” an upgrade to 6kw while on a ONE-HUNDRED FOOT TOWER with third-world equipment and sales that might yield you some snack-machine money. So much for the IBA!
 
My problem with halls of fame is the number of people who are elected every year. Nine people into the IBA Hall in one year? At that rate, everyone who has ever broadcast in Indiana will get elected by 2025 ::)

By the way, it is Jinsey, there is no z in her name.
 
Last year there was one - Dean Spencer. HOF committee is too Indy biased. Why not have a link to potential candidates and have each IBA member (I know there are no IBA members, just stations) but each station have one vote. Pioneers could be super delegates.
 
Art is a banker....(well was) he had a couple deals in the hay day that set him up but he has no operations skills.....at all. I honestly don't know anyone (other than little artie) that could consider art angotti a broadcaster, let alone be put in the IBA Hall of Fame. Something needs to be done about this. Maybe in his acceptance speach he can talk about all the deals he had blown up, frequencies he has changed, formats he has changed, people he has lied to (listeners, employees and clients) and explain the importance of buying a station for $8 Million and selling for $3.4. He can talk about the benfefits of handing down personal vechicles to stations he owns (so he can get a new one) and not giving the station the money to letter it. Oh, and finally, he could explain to all Indiana Broadcast owners how he has saved so much money by changing employee's status from "employee" to "independent contractor". Everyone in attendance would be interested in that one. Do you think art is getting all these ideas from little arties MBA from Purdue? This is a discredit to anyone who has ever received and or earned to be inducted into the IBA Hall of Fame. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
 
Why isn't "Artie" running things now??????

n one of the most diverse group of honorees ever, an internationally renowned musical
couple and a former dean of network news correspondents are among the broadcasters who will
be inducted into the Richard M. Fairbanks Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame at the 27th
annual ceremony to be held in October. Bill and Gloria Gaither and retired CBS News
correspondent Phil Jones will be joined by five other native or adopted Hoosiers who, through
their chosen radio and/or television careers, have had significant and historic impact on their
communities, state and world.

Newly elected inductees to the Hall of Fame include Bill and Gloria Gaither, winners of
eight Grammy Awards and more than two dozen Dove Awards and recent recipients of the
Sachem Award, the state’s highest honor. Together, they have written more than 700 songs and
have built Gaither Music Co. in Alexandria, Indiana, where they produce their radio and
television programs, into a thriving center of the gospel music industry.

Phil Jones was a reporter-correspondent for CBS News for over three decades. He
reported from the Vietnam battlefields, presidential campaigns, Watergate investigation, Nixon
resignation and the impeachment and trial of Clinton. A native of Fairmount, Indiana, he was
considered the dean of broadcast correspondents reporting on Congress from 1977-89 and was
White House correspondent 1974-77.

Arthur Angotti, Jr. was president and CEO of Artistic Media Partners, a radio broadcast
company he founded in Indianapolis in 1988. AMP currently numbers 11 radio stations in
Bloomington, Lafayette and South Bend which serve as the flagships for the Indiana, Purdue and
Notre Dame sports networks. He formerly served as president of Wabash Cablevision and
played a role in bringing cablevision to Indiana.

Sam Simmermaker has more than 50 years of broadcast experience, 47 of them with
WCSI, Columbus, Indiana, where he has been News and Sports Director and play-by-play man.
He twice has been honored as the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association
Sportscaster of the Year and is a member of both the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall
of Fame and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

Jerry Arnold’s 41-year broadcast career continues at Midwest Radio in Terre Haute as
director of engineering, where he administers the technical needs of three FM and one AM
station. He has had many technical articles published in both Radio World and QST magazines
and was instrumental in installing one of the first radio automation systems in Terre Haute while
chief engineer of WTHI-AM/FM. When the use of satellite-delivered programming began to
grow, he invented and manufactured a device that allowed users of two different radio networks
to be able to interface the new delivery mode to existing equipment.

Hal Fryar began his broadcasting career as an announcer, emcee and writer as a teenager
in Indianapolis in the mid 1940’s. By1960, after graduating from Indiana University and then
developing his entertainment talents as host of programs geared to young audiences in radio and
TV in Ohio for several years, he started a 12-year run in Indianapolis as a stumbling, fumbling
and loveable character known as Harlow Hickenlooper for entertaining segments presented in
between the Three Stooges offerings on WFBM-TV. He still makes public appearances for a
whole new generation of young viewers.

Chuck Marlowe has enjoyed a long career as a sportscaster in his hometown of
Indianapolis. He was the television play-by-play man for Indiana University basketball games
for over 25 years and hosted the Bob Knight Show on WTTV for 29 years. He also was heard on
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s world-wide radio network broadcasts of the 500 Mile Race
for 26 years.

Induction ceremonies will be held October 2 at The Fountains Banquet and Conference
Center in Carmel, Indiana, following a reception and dinner. The video presentation for each of
the inductees then will be added to a permanent display housed at the Indiana State Museum.
Reservations for the banquet may be made by contacting the Indiana Broadcasters Association,
3003 E. 98th St., Suite 161, Indianapolis, IN 46280 or [email protected].

That's like asking why Goering isn't teaching the sensitivity class instead of Hitler.

Or why George Bush isn't moderating the National Spelling Bee instead of Dan Quayle.
 
I know I have been busy so I missed this

AMP is looking for a market manager in Lafayette and a sales manager in South Bend. Here is a suggested change in the ad copy to help find motivated applicants.

Well as the commercial used to say: "You can learn a lot from a dummy". There are two more graduates of the Butdue school of radio. Hosted by a former Butler banking professor and current IBA Hall of Fame inductee Art and a Purdue MBA and star protege Artie. Do you have what it takes to be accepted into the new semester? This comprehensive and time tested format is an accelerated education and training program that last less than a year. You will graduate wrung out, strung out, mentally exhaused and with a newfound appreciation for an Angoti ownership point of view. You can major in the blame game (you are to blame) or empty promises with requisties in the following: it is never good enough, the numbers keep shifting and finally we are in bad shape and making cuts.

Motivated canidates with 5 years of experience are wanted, but we need warm bodies so if you apply you got a shot.
 
What will come first - a new market manager of a format flip?
 
Maybe Amp should take a tip from WIBN and hire old washed up PD's that have been fired from every other station within 100 miles! ;D
 
which one, lawsuit that is. (KK I put a period there just for you)
