Official National Radio Hall of Fame Campaign for Bob Crane

Vote For Bob Crane

Vote For Bob Crane was created because the National Radio Hall of Fame (NRHOF) allows public voting as part of their selection process. Thus, we needed to raise and build public awareness so people could literally vote for Bob Crane for his posthumous induction. Public voting was suspended in 2012 and then re-established in 2015. You can show your support by nominating Bob Crane via the NRHOF website.

Our work on Bob Crane's behalf has grown to include the publication of Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography and our 2017 podcast The Bob Crane Show: Reloaded. Therefore, we have changed our name to Bob Crane: Life & Legacy.

About Us

For most of her life, campaign manager Carol Ford, a professional editor and author, has been an advocate of Bob Crane's. This led to her involvement in a new, serious biography about Bob, during which she took part in talking with 200 individuals from Bob's life—including family, close friends as far back as grade school, and coworkers in radio, television, theatre, and film. Bob Crane: The Definitive Biography was published on September 17, 2015, and is available through all major book retailers worldwide.

After getting to know many of his dearest and trusted friends on a personal level, Carol nominated Bob for the National Radio Hall of Fame in February 2011 on their behalf. The Steering Committee has assured us that Crane's nomination has been retained on file and will be considered for future classes.
