Six of the inductees were determined by a voting participant panel comprised of more than 900 industry pros who were invited to cast their votes, and four inductees were voted on by the Radio Hall of Fame 2025 Nominating Committee. The confidential ballot was conducted by Votem.com and overseen by Miller Kaplan’s Andrew Rosen.
Kraig Kitchin, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, said, “Our 2025 Induction Ceremony and Celebration will be a special, standing-room-only event honoring the talents, history and contributions of 11 incredible people.

I look forward to welcoming this year’s inductees as we honor their legacies and share their stories which will serve as an inspiration for future generations to come.”
