Fox News’ Sean Hannity Inducted into Radio Hall of Fame
Fox News host and radio talk show host Sean Hannity was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame Thursday in recognition of his work on “The Sean Hannity Show.”
The ceremony was held at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago, with Dave Ramsey, financial talk radio host, serving as the master of ceremonies.
Hannity launched his nationally syndicated show in 2001.
According to Mediaite, “The Sean Hannity Show” draws more than 13 million listeners a week and is ranked number two in Talker Magazine‘s 100 Most Important Talk Hosts in America behind Rush Limbaugh.
Hannity was unable to attend the induction ceremony, but said he was honored to be selected as a member of the Radio Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017.

“From day one that radio light would go on everyday and I just let it all go — and I love it,” Hannity told TVNewser.
Hannity said that now, after almost 30 years in the radio business, “I have the same experience and feel blessed beyond measure that I am able to do this everyday.”
“The Radio Hall of Fame is just icing on the cake,” he added.
Hannity posted a tweet to thank his audience, whom he called “irredeemable deplorables.” Many reached out on social media to congratulate Hannity, including actor James Woods, who said Hannity’s induction was “much deserved.”
Other 2017 inductees into the Radio Hall of Fame include Bobby Bones, Robin Quivers (Howard Stern’s on-air sidekick), Tom Barnard, Joseph Field, Bill Handel, John Landecker and the late Bob Sievers.

Hannity recently stepped into another media role as executive producer of the Kevin Sorbo-directed “Let There Be Light.”
“I’ve always felt that Hollywood has a contempt for conservative values and Christian values,” Hannity recently told CBN‘s Pat Robertson.
“I think this (film) touches your heart, your mind, and your soul,” Hannity said. “And it has a very contemporary feel to it … How Christians are looked on in society, how their values are demeaned.”
The film debuted last weekend in second place for per-screen average ticket sales, according to Newsmax. https://www.westernjournalism.com/fox-news-sean-hannity-inducted-into-radio-hall-of-fame/

I think that is one of those Hall Of Fame where if you make a decent sized donation to the museum they put you in the Hall Of Fame.
Congratulations to Sean!
"Fox News Dominates Cable News Ratings"
They certainly know how to turn news into infotainment. Sure, all of it has a ridiculous conservative spin on it so they can keep selling overpriced gold plated coins and reverse mortgages to their ancient viewers, but they sure do draw a crowd. Apparently you only need 10% of truth mixed with 90% lies to be popular among the large crowd of the least educated. To them lies dipped in truthiness are more reassuring.
