Dan Ingram was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame of The Museum of Broadcasting in Chicago, on November 3, 2007. Gee, he’s only 72, unquestionably one of the most-loved Top 40 talents of all time, and now he’s officially famous! I suspect tuxedos and round tables with fancy linens were involved.

Contributor Rob Frankel says that Johnny Donovan asked him to create this demo for the 2007 MBC Radio Hall of Fame Induction Committee, so it’s reasonable to say that this short composite aircheck is an award-winner. (Portions of the airchecks featured have appeared on other REELRADIO exhibits.)

REELRADIO congratulates Dan Ingram on this long overdue award. Sorry we don’t have a big ceremony and nice tablecloths!

COMMENTS FOR Dan Ingram Demo for Radio Hall Of Fame Induction Committee, 2007

Welcome to the new ReelRadio!

This site is now operated by the North Carolina Broadcast History Museum. 

We want to thank the board of ReelRadio, Inc. for their stewardship since the passing of the founder Richard Irwin in 2018.  It has not been easy and they have maintained the exhibits for future generations to enjoy.

I met Richard Irwin, aka Uncle Ricky, when we were freshmen at East Carolina University.  We both had worked at local stations in our hometowns.  No one was more passionate about radio, especially Top 40 radio, than my friend Richard. 

Our goals with this site are to preserve the exhibits and make them available free of charge for people to enjoy.  Over time, we hope to add some airchecks to the site.  This will not happen immediately.  Time and resources will determine the future of new exhibits. 

Many thanks to the web folks at the Beasley Media Group for countless hours of work.  Again thanks to the board members of ReelRadio, Inc. for their faith in us. 

Richard Irwin’s hope was that his site would live on long after his passing. He said, “I hope REELRADIO will survive as my contribution to the ‘radio business’. The business is allowed to forget me, but the business should never forget the great era of radio that we celebrate here”.

We remember Richard and we thank him. If you enjoy this new site, we would appreciate a contribution. We hope you enjoy the new ReelRadio!
