Nashville, TN – 
“This is a first for the incredible Country Radio Hall of Fame. As a partner with CRB, we are excited about the collaboration to bring this event to thousands of fans and radio partners,” said Jeff James, PickleJar’s chief executive officer. “This is about transforming the fan experience and showcasing a ceremony highlighting the incredible accomplishments of the inductees and honorees.”
With this partnership, PickleJar will also extend the digital presence of the ceremony, making the exclusive red-carpet interviews and pictures available across all their digital platforms free for all users. The ceremony, which is dedicated to the recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the radio industry over a 20-year period, will honor eight new Hall of Fame inductees: Bob Call, RJ Curtis, Bill Hagy, Norm Schrutt, Heather Froglear, Buzz Jackson, Bob Pickett, and Angie Ward. Keith Urban will also be presented with the Artist Career Achievement Award for his continuous work and accomplishments over the years that have played a role in the development and promotion of country music and country radio. The ceremony will also be simulcast on the Country Radio Broadcasters’ Facebook page.
