Texas Radio HOF Names New Board Members
• The Texas Radio Hall Of Fame (TRHOF) has invited six broadcast pros, all prior inductees, to join its Executive Board. Recent Board action has approved the addition of TJ Callahan, Caroline Devine, Muriel Funches, Gil Garcia, Jr., Glen Ivey, and Steve Zetsche to lead the organization into the future. Retiring Executive Director Josh Holstead was named Director Emeritus.
“We’re building a strong team of advisors to help chart a meaningful, relevant future for the TRHOF,” said Doug Harris, TRHOF’s newly installed Executive Director. “These pros add experience, strength, and balance to an organization committed to honoring the contributions of worthy broadcasters in every format, every Texas market, and every job description in which exemplary performance is present.”
Nominations for the TRHOF Class of 2021 will be accepted from voting members beginning July 1 at TRHOF.net. Nominations and voting for an expanded field of recognition will now be accepted in two categories: On-Air & Programming and Management & Sales. Engineers, marketing/promotion directors, production directors, and others whose work connects directly to the content and quality of the on-air product, would be considered in the On-Air and Programming category, while the Management & Sales category will salute the accomplishments of owners, market managers, GMs, OMs, GSMs, Sales Managers, Directors of Sales, CFOs, and other organizational personnel.
Nominees will be announced, and final voting will commence, on July 20. The 2021 TRHOF Inductees will be revealed on August 2, 2021, and honored on Saturday, November 6, 2021, in a special ceremony at the Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, TX.
