Radio Hall Recognizes Brooke & Jubal With “One to Watch” Award

Brooke & Jubal

Premiere Networks’ Brooke (Fox) and Jubal (Fresh), hosts of Brooke & Jubal in the Morning, are this year’s recipients of the Radio Hall of Fame’s “One to Watch” award.

It was created last year in honor of radio legend and 2012 RHOF inductee Art Laboe.

Each year, the RHOF nominating committee selects a promising radio personality or team who has demonstrated ratings success, audience growth, and impact on one or more radio stations and their communities.

Brooke and Jubal teamed up in 2011 and within four years, they launched into national syndication.  In 2016 they won the National Association of Broadcasters’ Marconi Award for “Large Market Personality of the Year.”  Today, they’re #1 in Portland and Seattle and are heard on more than 50 stations, attracting 2.2 million weekly listeners.

“Brooke and Jubal exemplify the inspiration behind this award,” says RHOF Chairman Kraig Kitchin.  “While they’ve made Movin’ 92.5, KQMV-FM their home in Seattle, the magic they create on the air continues to win audiences far beyond.”

The Radio Hall of Fame’s 31st Annual Induction Ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8.  Tickets are available at www.radiohalloffame.com.  A portion of the ticket is a tax-deductible charitable donation to the Museum of Broadcast Communications.

The 2019 inductees include Sean “Hollywood” Hamilton, Harry Harrison, Kevin Ryder and Gene “Bean” Baxter (Kevin & Bean), Joe Madison, Jim Rome, Ryan Seacrest, John Tesh and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.

Art Laboe started his radio career on KSAN in 1943 and still broadcasts live six nights a week.  He’s responsible for many “firsts” in the radio and record business.  He was the first DJ to play
Rock n’ Roll on the West Coast airwaves, one of the first to play both black and white artists and
the first to have an “Elvis Hour.”   And he’s responsible for coining the phrase and has the registered trademark for Oldies But Goodies™.

The Radio Hall of Fame honors notable radio personalities and showcases their accomplishments in the Chicago-based Museum of Broadcast Communications. Each year, 24 nominations in six categories are determined by the organization’s nominating committee, which is comprised of 23 industry leaders.  The museum is located at 360 N. State St. in downtown Chicago and was founded in 1983.
