The 27 members of the Class of 2025 bring to 285 the total number enshrined in BARHOF since its inception in 2006.
BARHOF directors are also saluting two important individuals with “BARHOF Lifetime Achievement Awards”. David Ferrell Jackson founded the Bay Area Radio Museum and Hall of Fame, and Len Shapiro is the organization’s longtime Executive Director. Without the vision and efforts of both men, there would be no BARHOF.
In keeping with BARHOF tradition, a festive induction luncheon will be held on October 18, 2025. The luncheon, open to the public, will be held at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant at Oakland’s Jack London Square. Tickets may be purchased here.
