Missouri Broadcasters to honor Bohannon

Lebanon High School graduate Jim Bohannon will finally get honored by the Missouri Broadcasters Association this year after last year’s Hall of Fame ceremony was canceled due to the global pandemic. Bohannon is one of three people nominated in 2020 to be inducted into the MBA’s Hall of Fame. When the 2021 Hall of Fame ceremony is held in August, Bohannon and other 2020 nominees Don Hicks and Betsey Bruce will be honored along with 2021 inductees, broadcaster Charlie Earls and St. Louis Cardinals announcer John Rooney. “We are pleased to honor these deserving broadcasters who had a tremendous impact on our state’s industry and history,” said MBA President/CEO Mark Gordon in a press release. The ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 7 in Branson. For more on this story see Wednesday's LCR.
