The Broadcast Professionals of Colorado, (http://broadcastprofessionals.net/) a group formerly known as the Broadcast Pioneers of Colorado, will induct six veterans into its Hall of Fame this month. The ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 18.
Among those to be inducted is the late Rick Barber. Barber, a radio legend at KOA who ruled overnight for 30 years, died in June (http://www.denverpost.com/ci_23562669/rick-barber-overnight-denver-radio-fixture-30-years) at age 67.
Also to be inducted this year:
Allan Bisset, a 42-year veteran of KCNC (longer than any other current staffer), who originally ran the station’s Motion Picture Film Laboratory, processing 1.5 million feet of film a year. He’s been a photojournalist since 1977 and is, according to Channel 4, “the photographer the assignment desk wants to clone.”
Jack Carver, who was a camera operator on KLZ-TV’s first day on the air in 1953, who was producer-director for the Sheriff Scotty Show and director of the first NFL game played and televised in Colorado.
Noell Custer, creator and star of the long-running kids show, “The Noell and Andy Show,” on KLZ. She also wrote and produced 65 Colorado History features, “Centennial Colorado,” now part of the Denver Public Library’s Westery History Collection.
Morey DaVolt, who put radio stations on the air in Lakewood, Estes Park and Castle Rock. He also brought full-time country-western programming to the state’s airwaves.
Bill Pierson, who joined KFKA Greeley in 1948 as a staff announcer, later at KVOD. He put KBPI (Bill Pierson Inc.) on the air in 1965. He was a public affairs show host on KOA in the 1980s and on KRMA for 20+ years.
9News anchor Kim Christiansen will emcee the event.
