The National Radio Hall of Fame invites you to vote for the 2009 inductees!



My voting, and promoting this years inductees into The National Radio Hall of Fame was inspired by an email from Dan O'Day:
Kurt....

I'm writing to ask a personal favor -- that you consider casting a
Radio Hall of Fame ballot for the most talented jock I ever heard:
Gary Burbank.

On my blog posting ( http://danoday.com/voting ) for July 15,
you'll find a video clip of his last day on the air.

This guy isn't the reason I got into radio. But he's the reason I
stayed.

Thanks very much,
Dan O'Day

P.S. On the blog, you'll also find a direct link to the online voting.

P.P.S. Deadline for voting is July 31...

So, I now encourage you to join me, Kurt Kelly in casting your vote, go to: https://nrhof.votenet.com/nrhof/register/

GARY BURBANK, like Dick Purtan, Larry LuJack, Imus, and a few others; are the icons of the industry! While the industry seems to be drifting over the cliff to become Ipods with commercials, GARY BURBANK was one of the personalities who set the bar. If radio wants to reinvent itself and survive in the new era, “more music, less talk” IS NOT THE ANSWER!!! More personality, more often is the hope for the future. Gary, was certainly a benchmark in personality radio.
