The Museum of Broadcast Communications has announced the selection of three new inductees from sports radio into the Radio Hall of Fame for 2022.
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo from Sirius XM, Suzyn Waldman from the New York Yankees Radio Network/WFAN and Jeff Smulyan, President and CEO of Emmis Communications will each be honored with an in-person ceremony on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 in Chicago.
“Congratulations to each member of the 2022 Class of Inductees,” said Kraig T. Kitchin, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame. “Our forthcoming inductees have made a wonderful impact on the lives of their listeners and our industry. We’re thrilled to be able to celebrate their respective careers and honor them with an induction to the Radio Hall of Fame”.
The trio will be part of a nine-member class that will be honored. Six of the inductees were determined by a voting participant panel comprised of more than 800 industry professionals and three inductees were voted on by the Radio Hall of Fame Nominating Committee.
“It is an honor to induct nine worthy individuals to the Radio Hall of Fame,” Dennis Green, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, remarked. “This year was our highest voter participation ever and the radio industry picked an amazing, diverse class of broadcasters and executives that we are proud to call Hall of Famers. These individuals have made a lasting impact on this amazing industry, cementing their place as part of the legacy that makes radio special.”
