Legendary Texas radio personality and 2010 NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame Radio Inductee Ron Chapman will host this year's NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner & Show on Thursday, September 30 at 6 p.m. during the Radio Show in Washington, D.C. Join in the celebration and share in the excitement of recognizing some of radio's finest stations and personalities.

Chapman has been heard on the airwaves in the Dallas/Fort Worth area since the 1950s. He began his radio career after high school graduation at WHAV-AM Haverhill, Mass., in 1953. After broadcasting for the U.S. Army in Korea, Chapman worked at WNHC-AM New Haven, and was shortly thereafter recruited to Dallas' KLIF-AM. Chapman spent six years at KLIF, co-hosting the highly successful "Charlie and Harrigan Show," before joining WFAA-TV in Dallas. In 1968, Chapman joined a team that purchased KVIL-FM, a station known for pioneering the Adult Contemporary format. He remained at KVIL-FM for 32 years, serving as program director, music director, promotion director and morning personality.

In the late 1990's Chapman joined KLUV-FM, an Oldies format that saw high ratings upon his arrival. He retired in 2005, but was summoned back to radio a few years later when ABC asked him to become the regular substitute for "Paul Harvey News." Chapman is a multiple inductee to the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.

The NAB Marconi Radio Awards were established in 1989 and named after inventor and Nobel Prize winner Guglielmo Marconi. These prestigious awards recognize stations and individuals for their excellence and performance.
