The induction ceremony will take place during our NEW YORK BROADCAST LEADERSHIP AND HALL OF FAME LUNCHEON during the NAB/SHOW NEW YORK on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19th at the JAVITS CENTER in NEW YORK CITY.

SANDY BEACH, a fixture in BUFFALO radio for 35 years, is currently the top morning personality on Newsradio WBEN-A/BUFFALO. JANET LOMAX, an award winning news anchor at NEWS10NBC, retired after serving the ROCHESTER community for 36 years as a broadcast journalist. ART MCFARLAND’s 31-year career in NEW YORK CITY TV was the longest tenured reporter at WABC-TV.

“We are honored to induct SANDY BEACH, JANET LOMAX and ART MCFARLAND into the NYSBA HALL OF FAME," NYSBA Pres. DAVID DONOVAN said. "They represent the best in our profession. They serve as the “gold standard” for those entering broadcasting. Throughout their careers they have demonstrated a commitment to serve their local communities. It is our privilege to have them enter the NYSBA Hall of Fame.”
