Radio Hall of Fame inducts Class of 2026 in Chicago

The Radio Hall of Fame inducted its Class of 2026 during a ceremony in Chicago. The eight new honorees include Boomer Esiason of WFAN, Shotgun Tom Kelly of SiriusXM 60s Gold, Helen Little of WLTW, Dennis Green, Bob Pittman, Rickey Smiley, Charlie Van Dyke, and Fred Winston.

WFAN co-host Gregg Giannotti missed the induction ceremony after being removed from a private jet traveling to Chicago. Giannotti reported that the pilot requested identification, and because Giannotti only possessed a standard driver’s license rather than a REAL ID or passport, he was unable to board the flight.
