The public has spoken, and they’ve voted top ranked conservative talk radio host and author Mark R. Levin into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
His vote into the Hall by the public comes 15 years after he was given his first radio slot Sunday afternoons on WABC. He eventually shot up to number one and now his syndicated show is among the top in the business.
“There are several terrific people who encouraged me to get into radio and helped launch my show 15 years ago, including Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Phil Boyce, David Limbaugh, and Mitch Dolan,” Levin told Secrets.
Thanks to you, my wonderful listeners for your support! You turned out in record numbers to vote! And the National Radio Hall of Fame has just announced that WE will be induced into the Radio Hall of Fame. https://t.co/xe0H7DJfG6

“But I truly have the most wonderful audience, and I owe them everything. They are smart, loyal, and patriotic, and I’m blessed by them. I’d be nowhere in this business without my listeners, and I never take them for granted. And it is my audience who voted me into the National Radio Hall of Fame by an unprecedented vote turnout. I also wish the other nominees well as they are all top talents. And, of course, thanks for my loving family for all their support,” he added.
Other nominees included SiriusXM’s Joe Madison, CBS Sports Radio’s Jim Rome, and George Noory of Coast to Coast AM.
Levin has become one of the most influential media figures in conservative politics. His experience as a Constitutional lawyer and advocate give him a niche and step up over many he competes against.
He has also expanded his reach recently through the Conservative Review, which has an exploding record of web traffic, and LevinTV. And his books are regular best sellers.
The Hall of Fame said that it received more public votes than ever before and that is in large part to the huge public campaign that Levin ran and his supporters in conservative circles.
Hall Chairman Kraig T. Kitchin said, “It’s our mission to recognize the most impactful personalities and individuals to our medium and honor them. We’re proud to induct these individuals for their contributions into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2018, our 30th year.”
The induction ceremony takes place Nov. 15 at New York City landmark Guastavino’s located in midtown Manhattan.
