The National Radio Hall of Fame and Museum, located in the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago, Illinois, is a museum dedicated to recognizing those who have contributed to the development of the radio medium throughout its history in the United States.
Radio programs as well as individuals are eligible for induction. Inductees to the museum are nominated by the National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum Steering Committee. The committee is appointed by the President of the Museum of Broadcast Communications, and is composed of radio executives, academicians, trade journalists, and others interested in radio's history. The Steering Committee recommends nominations in the following categories:
- Pioneer Network or Syndicated
- Active Network or Syndicated

A ballot listing the nominees is sent out every May to all Museum of Broadcast Communications members for voting. Winners are announced at the annual August meeting. As of 2005 more than 130 individuals and programs inductees have been selected.
