Alice Cooper, Martha Quinn & More Inducted Into Radio Hall of Fame: Full List

Alice Cooper, host of Nights With Alice Cooper and Alice’s Attic, and Martha Quinn, host of The Martha Quinn Show, are among the 2025 inductees into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Cooper, who topped the Billboard 200 in 1973 with his album Billion Dollar Babies, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. He is just the second person who was inducted as a performer in the Rock Hall to also be admitted to the Radio Hall of Fame, following R&B legend James Brown. (Four other Radio Hall inductees were honored by the Rock Hall in the non-performer category:  Alan Freed, Sam Phillips, Dick Clark and Don Cornelius.)

Quinn gained pop-culture immortality as one of MTV’s five original VJs when that culture-shaking channel launched in 1981, along with Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Nina Blackwood. Quinn is the first of these five VJs to join the Radio Hall of Fame.

On Monday (June 30), the Museum of Broadcast Communications announced the selection of 10 new inductees – nine individuals and one team (Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch of The Bob & Sheri Show) – into the Radio Hall of Fame for 2025. They will be honored at the in-person 2025 Radio Hall of Fame Induction ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 30 at the Swissotel Hotel in Chicago.

Six of the 10 inductees were determined by a voting participant panel comprised of more than 900 industry professionals. The other four inductees were voted on by the Radio Hall of Fame 2025 nominating committee.

“Our 2025 Induction Ceremony and Celebration will be a special, standing-room-only, event honoring the talents, history and contributions of 11 incredible people,” Kraig Kitchin, co-chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, said in a statement. “I cannot wait to celebrate the careers and impact of these men and women who’ve made a forever positive impact on the radio industry!”

Dennis Green, co-chair of the Radio Hall of Fame, added: “These Radio Hall of Famers have entertained us, informed us, and helped to bring special moments to our lives through a medium that does this better than any other.”

The Radio Hall of Fame was founded by the Emerson Radio Corporation in 1988. The Museum of Broadcast Communications took over operations of the Hall in 1991.

Tickets for the 2025 Radio Hall of Fame Induction ceremony are on sale now at the Radio Hall of Fame site. Individual tickets are $595 per person. A portion of ticket purchases is a tax-deductible charitable donation to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, home to the Radio Hall of Fame.
