The Country Radio Hall of Fame is accepting nominations for its Class of 2027, with a submission deadline of Oct. 30, 2026. Nominations received after that date will be considered for the Class of 2028, according to the organization.
Candidates must have at least 20 years of experience in radio, including a minimum of 15 years in the country format. The Hall of Fame recognizes honorees in two categories: Radio, for behind-the-scenes contributions in programming, management and sales, and On-Air Personality, for on-air talent.
The 2027 inductees will be announced during the Country Radio Seminar, set for March 17-19 at the Omni Nashville Hotel. The Country Radio Hall of Fame was founded in 1974 and is administered by Country Radio Broadcasters, Inc., a nonprofit established in 1969.
