Rickey Smiley Inducted Into Radio Hall of Fame
Description
Rickey Smiley’s radio legacy just got a major honor—he’s officially inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame for the 2026 class, and it’s a moment he celebrated live on his show with his signature humor and gratitude. From thanking Cathy Hughes and Alfred Liggins to crediting radio legends like Russ Parr and Tom Joyner, Smiley reminded everyone that radio is a lifestyle demanding discipline and grit. Urban One called him a trailblazer who amplified Black culture through his humor for decades. With a career spanning comedy, TV, and film, this induction feels less like a surprise and more like the well-deserved victory lap it is.
