SiriusXM’s King of All Things Pop Kid Kelly is among the 2018 inductees to the National Radio Hall of Fame. Voting in four of the six categories comes from 1k or so radio professionals; the other two, including Kid, were voted on by the public. Howard Stern, Demi Lovato and Niall Horan, among others, stumped for Kid’s induction on the air and via social media; he's said to have earned in excess of 500k votes.
Other winners include Mark Levin (Spoken Word Format On-Air Personality), the other public-vote winner; Jonathon Brandmeier (Active Local/Regional, 10+ years); Jim Kerr of WAXQ (Q104.3)/New York (Longstanding Local/Regional, 20+ years); Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg of ESPN Radio (Active Network/Syndication, 10+ years); and Dr. Laura Schlessinger of SiriusXM Stars 109 (Longstanding Network/Syndication, 20+ years).
