Archiving the Rich History of Indiana broadcasting

The Indiana Broadcast Pioneers was organized in 1979 and is dedicated to offering opportunities for fellowship, education, public service, and the preservation of broadcast history amongst individuals retired from broadcasting.

A Committee of the Indiana Broadcasters Association, the Broadcast Pioneers help the association by vetting nominations for the annual Hall of Fame awards. Pioneers meet throughout the year for fellowship, and the association publishes the “Broadcast Beat” magazine for Pioneer readers.
