The Texas Radio Hall of Fame’s 2026 Class will be inducted on Saturday, November 8, 2026 at the Texas Broadcast Museum in Kilgore, TX. The “City of Stars” will once again roll out the red carpet for friends and fans of Texas Radio to ensure and enjoyable and affordable weekend for all. If you’ve never experienced the Texas Broadcast Museum - a Smithsonian-caliber museum that hosts our annual event - you’re in for a real treat!


  • Each 2026 Inductee will receive two (2) complimentary tickets to the event for use by the inductee and one guest. Two copies of the printed program will also be provided. Once our inductees have been announced, these items will be reserved for you, once you let us know you’re coming and to whom you wish to “award” your “extra” ticket.
  • Beginning on August 19. 2026, tickets may be purchased at $25 each (plus a processing fee per ticket) while they last For the last three years, we have hosted a “full house” and an early sell out of tickets is likely., Please complete your ticket purchases as soon as possible!
  • Seating at the TRHOF event will be theatre-style for 200 guests. Our individual inductees will be seated together in a special section, adjacent to, and in clear view of, the auditorium guests.
  • No meal OR alcoholic beverages will be served during the Induction ceremony, and the room setup does not include tables. Complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be available during the presentation. PLEASE advise your guests to plan dining options before or after the TRHOF events on November 8.
  • Regarding pre-show dining, guests registered at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites may enjoy the free breakfast offering there. As a courtesy to our guests, Chili’s (not far from the Holiday Inn) has agreed to open at 10:30 AM for dining (with a full bar available). Any food or beverages ordered by patrons of Chili’s will be the responsibility of those guests.
  • Ads or special salutes to our inductees may be included in our program book. The rate is $450 for a full page or $300 for a half page with the inside front and inside back covers available at a slightly higher price. Reasonable assistance with artwork and layout will be extended at no charge. Interested parties may contact Doug Harris at 713.569.7716 or DougH@Noisemaker.com.
  • Attire for the event would best be described as “business casual.” Historically, jackets and neckties for men have been a rarity but would certainly not make the inductee appear overdressed. “Dress for photos” is probably the best advice we can give. You’ll be on stage and in the spotlight for most of the afternoon.
