We are now accepting nominations for our Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Nominations will be accepted through March 20, 2026. To nominate a person, please submit the form below by the deadline. You may also provide additional materials with the submission.
The Hall of Fame is open to individuals in all aspects of the broadcasting industry. This includes ownership, management, news, engineering, production, sales, promotion, on-air talent, programming, creative services, or associated professional fields. The committee also considers such factors as maintaining a geographical balance and service to the New York State Broadcasters Association. The Selection Committee will judge the nominations based on the following criteria:
Candidates for the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 shall have worked in broadcasting in New York State or an associated professional field to the benefit of the broadcast industry. Broadcasting is defined as professional work on a local radio or television station as well as a broadcast network. While we will consider working on digital services, a nominee must have worked for a broadcast entity to be considered.
Candidates are judged to have made a significant contribution to the broadcast industry in New York State. In doing so, they are judged to have distinguished themselves from their peers in New York.
Decisions are made by the Hall of Fame Subcommittee of the New York Broadcasters Association Board of Directors. The decisions of the subcommittee are final.
Nominations for the NYSBA Hall of Fame must be made by a person associated with a member station of the New York Broadcasters Association.
Our luncheon inducting the Class of 2026 will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at the iconic Rainbow Room, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, in New York City.
Nomination forms and materials should be sent electronically to Sandy at sandy@nysbroadcasters.org.
