Radio program to enter hall

? The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s weekly radio program, which went on the air three months before the 1929 stock market crash, will be inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters’ Hall of Fame next year.

Other hall of fame inductees include Jack Benny, George Burns, Bing Crosby, Benny Goodman, Paul Harvey, Bob Hope, Edward R. Murrow and Red Skelton.

The program, broadcast from the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square, features choir selections and a brief inspirational message.

President Bush this month awarded the Mormon choir the National Medal of Arts in a White House ceremony, and a new exhibit marking the radio program’s 75th year just opened at the Museum of Church History and Art.
