The Radio Hall of Fame announced its 2023 nominees Wednesday, and 710 WOR host Mark Simone has shared his appreciation for being included.
In a tweet, Simone shared the letter he was sent by the Museum of Broadcast Communications alerting him to his nomination.
“Thanks so much to the committee for this wonderful honor. I’ve been on the radio in New York since the day I graduated from college and have been blessed to have worked with the greatest radio stars in history,” Simone wrote. “There are a few hundred other radio giants I’ve been lucky enough to work with along the way, all great mentors and teachers, and of course all the great programming execs, producers, and engineers I’ve been surrounded by.”
Simone was not the only news/talk radio personality included in the list of nominees. KFI AM-640 hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, former 1010 WINS morning news anchor Lee Harris, and longtime conservative radio host Larry Elder were also included in the 24-person list of potential inductees.
