Bobby Bones

A native of Mountain Pine, Arkansas, Bobby Bones grew up in a town where the local mill employed much of the community. A career in radio was hardly the obvious path, but Bones found his way to a microphone while still in college, cutting his teeth at pop, hip-hop and sports stations before eventually finding his home in country music.

In 2002, The Bobby Bones Night Show launched in Little Rock, Arkansas before moving to Austin, Texas in 2003, where it quickly became the city’s top-rated morning show. Originally syndicated on CHR radio, the show made the leap to country in 2013, where Bones was uniquely equipped for the move. 

Dennis Green, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, said: "Bobby Bones is one of radio’s most dynamic personalities, and we’re thrilled to have both his love of radio and passion for our industry on full display as this year’s Master of Ceremonies for the Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.”

Kraig T. Kitchin, Co-Chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, said: “Bobby Bones brings a level of excitement and enthusiasm for radio wherever he goes and whenever he speaks. I’m thrilled he’s agreed to bring his energy to this years’ Induction Ceremony and Celebration. Talk about making a great event even better!”
