As the website says, the mission of the National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum is to “recognize and showcase contemporary talent from today’s diverse programming formats, as well as the pioneers who shaped the medium during its infancy.” It was formed by broadcaster Bruce DuMont. Its first class of inductees was in 1988. There are various categories, but I only list the music/variety (MV) and disc jockey (DJ) inductees from 1988 to 2016.
