Howie Carr mentioned tonight that WRKO will carry his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame
on Saturday night from 10 to 11 pm Eastern, live from Chicago. (Carr will do his show
tomorrow from WGN's studios.) He will get a grand total of 90 seconds for his speech.
I still have a bit of tape from when Jerry Williams went into the RHOF and they cut him
off by having the band play "Yakety Yak". He was not pleased. I think if you go to
the RHOF site you can hear the acceptance speeches from past awards (in some cases,
when the inductee has passed on, you will hear someone accept it for him/her...
for example, they inducted Jean Shepherd a few years ago. "Shep" died in 1999.)

There's a list of affiliates carrying it and also a video streamcast can be seen.
