WV Broadcasting Hall of Fame

The West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame’s mission is to commemorate exceptional broadcasters whose talent and dedication have brought great honor to the state or contributed to its cultural heritage by entertaining, informing, or otherwise enhancing the means of broadcasting. The Hall of Fame provides a repository at The Museum of Radio and Technology, Inc., in Huntington, West Virginia, for a collection of broadcasting memorabilia to keep alive the memory of those we celebrate so that their examples of excellence may educate and inspire future generations.
