TV hall honors 3 still on air
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.
