"Music and the Spoken Word," heard Sunday nights at 8:30 ET on WCLV 104.9 & wclv.com, has been selected for induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame. It's the longest-running radio broadcast in America, first airing July 15, 1929.
The program's commentator is Lloyd Newell, who has hosted all of WCLV's live broadcasts of the Jubilation Church Choir finals since the festival's inception.
When Lloyd Newell came to Cleveland for the first Jubilation in 2008, he revealed at lunch with the WCLV brass that the 360 choir members aren't paid. Then he revealed that he isn't paid either, and that it's the most rewarding job he's ever had.
The honor was announced yesterday by Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications, which administers the program. The national broadcast of the inducation ceremony will take place November 6 in Chicago. You can find more information at www.radiohof.org.
