Indiana Broadcast Pioneers

Indiana Broadcast Pioneers We’re archiving the rich history of Indiana broadcasting

The Indiana Broadcast Pioneers organization has a primary mission of recognizing outstanding career achievement by individuals, especially those demonstrating a lifetime of distinctive service in the public interest. Our goal is to induct broadcasters, alive or deceased, who have shown exemplary qualities and standards in their industry-related work that would make them valued members of the India

na Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. Founded in 1979, the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers is a non-profit organization in support of public service, diversity, education, fellowship and the preservation of our state's rich Broadcast history. Current on-going projects include this webpage, a semiannual newsletter, an exhibit at the Indiana State Museum, and the plan of expanding our outreach to other Indiana museums and sites.

Whew!

Yesterday was quite a day, as the Pioneers luncheon featured a conversation with Indy legend Mike Ahern. I moderated the session and then "The Franchise" took questions from the full house (thanks to The Aristocrat Restaurant for a great setting!) of former colleagues and competitors (all friends).

Rita Rose kindly took a bunch of photos -- I tried to post earlier but it never showed up (too many?) so I'm trying again adding a handful at a time.

After the session, Mike and I huddled with Debby Knox, Jim Shella, and Clayton Taylor for a beer downstairs -- lots and lots of stories and laughter!

The session with Mike was videotaped (or whatever we call it now) and I'll share the link when available. Thanks to all for a wonderful afternoon! - President KO
