INFOAGE HOSTS NATIONAL BROADCASTERS HALL OF FAME AND INDUCTION CEREMONY

The National Broadcasters Hall of Fame takes you back to those innocent days of old-time radio. Days when a simple turn of the dial was the key to entertainment, and words alone created clear images of people and places. There has never been such a unique collection of artifacts, exhibits, displays, recordings, film, and memorabilia which so vividly portrays the glorious history of broadcasting.

At the Hall of Fame, you can hear the best-loved old-time programs in their entirety, and you can watch many of your favorite radio personalities on film. You can enjoy looking at and touching vintage radios. You can see old microphones, earphones, photographs and memorabilia of famous broadcasting celebrities.

The Hall of Fame is a place where the old and the young learn. It is educational, nostalgic and FUN. Even more, it honors the geniuses who turned an invention into an industry, and pays tribute to the men and women who became heroes through their voices.
