The search for the next Country Radio Hall of Fame class is underway. Nominations for the Class of 2027 are now open, with inductees in the Radio and On-Air Personality categories set to be revealed during Country Radio Seminar 2027 in Nashville next March.
Nominees must have worked at least 20 years in radio, with a minimum of 15 in the country format.
Nominations for 2027 consideration must be submitted through the CRHoF nomination form by Friday, October 30. Nominations are accepted year-round, and submissions received after the deadline will be considered for the Class of 2028.
Founded in 1974, the Country Radio Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the country radio and music industry. Inductees are honored in two categories. The Radio category recognizes those who have worked behind the scenes in programming, management, sales, and other roles, while the On-Air Personality category honors on-air talent.
In March, the Hall revealed its Class of 2026 during CRS Honors at CRS 2026. On-Air Personality inductees were Chris Carr, Michael J, and Rick Jackson, and Radio inductees were Marci Braun, Phil Hunt, Bruce Logan, and John Marks. The class was inducted August 3 at the Virgin Hotel Nashville.
