Nine To Country Radio Hall: America's Morning Show host Blair Garner; former Midland, TX morning team Mike and Dana Schuff; WUSN/Chicago morning host Lisa Dent, former CBS Radio/Minneapolis SVP/MM Mick Anselmo; Keymarket Communications founder Kerby Confer; the late former WLW/Cincinnati host Jack Reno; WYCD/Detroit OM/PD Tim Roberts; and former KIIM/Tucson (among others) owner Jim Slone will be recognized by Luke Bryan as the next inductees to the Country Radio Hall of Fame during CRS 2016 opening ceremonies Feb. 8. The four On-Air inductees – Garner, Dent and the Schuffs – and the five Radio category honorees will be celebrated during the annual Induction Dinner and Awards Ceremony later this year in Nashville.

Garner took Cumulus' flagship morning show to New York and beyond in 2013 after 20 years at the helm of Premiere's After MidNite, which he created. Mike & Dana teamed for mornings in 1989 at KNFM/Midland and married two years later. They ultimately hosted mornings for 25 years at three outlets in the market, retiring in 2014. Illinois native Dent joined WUSN in 2002 after stops including Minneapolis, San Diego and Seattle. With partner Ramblin' Ray Stevens, Dent is a CMA, ACM, Marconi and CRS/Country Aircheck award winner.

A 31-year radio veteran, Mick Anselmo left television to start his radio career in Minneapolis in 1984, when he helped launch KEEY as the market's first Country station. He joined CBS Radio in 2008, flipping AC WLTE to Country KMNB three years later. Confer founded Pennsylvania-based Keymarket, through the years owning WILQ/Williamsport, PA; WGKX/Memphis; KSSN/Little Rock and WBVR/Bowling Green, KY. He created the Froggy brand worn by many of his Country stations.

The 1978 CMA Large Market Personality, Reno is perhaps best known for his overnight trucker show on WLW/Cincinnati. His Country experience included GM, PD and MD stints, in addition to performing and writing songs cut by Leroy Van Dyke and Jim Reeves. Roberts joined CBS Radio/Detroit as WYCD PD in 2005 after a run with Cumulus in the Midwest. The Detroit native also programmed the city's WWWW, and had stints in Cedar Rapids, Charlotte and San Francisco. A Southwest Country personality for 12 years, Slone bought his first station, KCUB-AM/Tucson in 1972, launching KIIM in 1984. He also owned stations in Lubbock and El Paso.
