Craig Kitchin is chair of the Radio Hall of Fame and Dennis Green heads the Nominating Committee.
Nominees in four industry-voted categories are voted on by a participant panel of 600 industry people. Winners in two listener-voted categories are determined by the public nominating committee. The outcome of the listener vote will count as one vote among the committee votes.
