The National Radio Hall of Fame and Museum, located in the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago, Illinois, is a museum dedicated to recognizing those who have contributed to the development of the radio medium throughout its history in the United States.

Radio programs as well as individuals are eligible for induction. Inductees to the museum are nominated by the National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum Steering Committee. The committee is appointed by the President of the Museum of Broadcast Communications, and is composed of radio executives, academicians, trade journalists, and others interested in radio's history. The Steering Committee recommends nominations in the following categories:

  • Pioneer Network or Syndicated
  • Active Network or Syndicated
  • Pioneer Local or Regional
  • Active Local or Regional

A ballot listing the nominees is sent out every May to all Museum of Broadcast Communications members for voting. Winners are announced at the annual August meeting. As of 2007 more than 135 individuals and programs inductees have been selected.

The 2007 inductees are sportscaster Jerry Coleman,"the voice of the San Diego Padres", pioneering African American writer Richard Durham (Destination Freedom),comedian Jimmy Durante, legendary New York disc jockey Dan Ingram and jazz great Marian McPhartland of National Public Radio. ABC Radio's Sean Hannity will host the induction broadcast on November 3rd from Chicago.

A notable absence in the Hall of Fame is famous radio show host Howard Stern. Stern has received Hall of Fame nominations in the past (most recently in 2004), but has yet to be inducted.
