Current Events

May 21, 2013: We are deeply saddened by so many tragic events that have occurred recently: Super Storm Sandy (October 2012); Sandy Hook Elementary School (December 14, 2012); the Boston Marathon Bombings (April 15, 2013); the explosion of the fertilizer plant in West, Texas (April 17, 2013); and the devastating tornados in Oklahoma and the Midwest (May 2013). Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims, and all who were injured or who have been touched by these horrific events are in our thoughts and prayers.

Announcement from the 2011 National Radio Hall of Fame Committee

Well, bad news folks.

We are sorry to announce that the Museum of Broadcast Communications and the National Radio Hall of Fame Committee decided to forgo the public voting process this year and hand select a few individuals for the 2011 National Radio Hall of Fame. This decision is the result of the Museum's move into their new building, set for later this year.

They have, however, assured us they will keep Bob Crane's nomination on file for consideration in future National Radio Hall of Fame classes.

Click here to read the official press release.

While we are disappointed with this recent decision, we do appreciate the achievements of those who are being recognized in the 2011 class and extend our congratulations to each of them.

Further, we will keep this site and Bob's memory alive by continuing to showcase his tremendous work in radio and in the entertainment industry.

You can help. Send your support of Bob Crane's inclusion on the 2012 ballot by contacting the Museum of Broadcast Communications directly.

And keep spreading the word about Bob Crane, a true radio legend.

Thank you for your comment and feedback! Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population only know Bob Crane through seeing the film "Auto Focus," which is a distorted and often inaccurate representation of Bob's life. Some visitors to this site feel the need to leave vulgar, inappropriate, and crude comments that they believe to be humorous, but which, in fact, are not. Because such comments do not reflect the truth about Bob Crane and are hurtful to Bob's family and friends, they are not tolerated. All comments are therefore moderated.

Thank you for understanding. Your comment, once approved, will be posted shortly. Have a nice day!

Bob Crane / Official National Radio Hall of Fame Campaign

The late legendary radio personality, musician, actor, and director Bob Crane, also known for his role on Hogan's Heroes, is being considered for induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Support for his induction was submitted by his colleagues in radio; WICC 600 AM in Bridgeport, CT, and WLEA 1480 AM in Hornell, NY, have endorsed his nomination as well. As of June 29, 2012, the National Radio Hall of Fame Steering Committee has suspended public voting indefinitely. We will, however, continue to petition for his induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame.

About Us

For most of her life, campaign manager Carol Ford, a professional editor and author, has been an advocate of Bob Crane's. This led to her involvement in a new, serious biography about Bob, during which she took part in talking with more than 150 individuals from Bob's life - including family, close friends as far back as grade school, and coworkers in radio, television, theatre, and film - and that she is now currently authoring.

After getting to know many of his dearest and trusted friends on a personal level, Carol nominated Bob for the National Radio Hall of Fame in February 2011 on their behalf. The Steering Committee has assured us that Crane's nomination has been retained on file and will be considered for future classes.
