Nominations for the Texas Radio Hall of Fame’s 2026 Induction Class open at Noon on June 1, 2026.
The nominations portal will be accessible to voting members at www.TRHOF.net through Friday, June 30, 2026.
In the initial phase of the selection process, qualified candidates may be nominated by voting members in good standing, a status that is open not only to broadcasters but their fans, friends, and family.
“During our 2025 nominations period, the TRHOF’s Executive Board added a new category of recognition, the Lone Star Legacies, to accommodate worthy nominees who are deceased,” says Doug Harris, a 2011 Inductee who now serves as the organization’s Executive Director. “For the 2026 season, we are introducing the “Small Markets/Big Voices” category to salute those broadcast professionals who have built their careers serving listeners in small and medium size markets.”
Once nominations have been received, they are presented for consideration and vetting by an internal TRHOF Review Committee. These former inductees then work anonymously and independently to identify up to fifty candidates for consideration by the voting members. Voting in the final phase determines the twenty individuals who will be honored at the TRHOF’s Induction Ceremony and Radio Reunion Weekend on November 7-8, 2026.
This event is staged annually at the Texas Broadcast Museum in Kilgore, TX. Full details and the weekend event schedule are posted at www.trhof.net. Information on becoming a TRHOF voting member is also available on the organization’s website and interested parties may still join—and vote—in this year’s selection.
