Two veteran broadcasters and one television personality who are still part of millions of Americans’ daily TV diet were announced Tuesday as inductees into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame: Bob Barker, Katie Couric and Dan Rather.

Barker has been the host of “The Price Is Right” on CBS since 1972. Couric has been co-anchor of NBC’s “Today” show since 1991. Rather began working as a correspondent on “CBS Evening News” in 1962 and became anchor in 1981.

Also selected to be added to the Hall of Fame in ceremonies next February were seven-time Emmy Award-winning actor Art Carney and former NBC programming chief Brandon Tartikoff, who died in 1997.
