2020 Country Radio HOF, 2021-Style
• The Country Radio Hall of Fame Class of 2020 will be honored during next month’s CRS 2021: The Virtual Experience. Due to COVID restrictions, the annual Hall Of Fame induction ceremony and dinner could not be held as a live event, so Country Radio Broadcasters will now feature individual ceremonies, presented by Curb Records in the morning and afternoon of each day, Wednesday, Feb. 17, through Friday, Feb. 19. Exact times will be available at CountryRadioSeminar.com closer to the event.
The 2020 Country Radio Hall of Fame inductees include three off-air radio broadcasters and three on-air radio personalities. The off-air honorees are Jim Duncan, Victor Sansone, and George Beasley, and the on-air honorees are Tim Wilson, Chuck Edwards, and Mark “Hawkeye” Louis. In addition to honoring these Hall of Fame inductees, the 2020 President’s Award and Career Achievement Award recipients will also be recognized during the Opening Ceremonies on Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 12:30pm CT.
