Uganda needs radio hall of fame.
It’s a fact that Uganda’s radio industry has brown from scratch over the years .This you can tell from the programming quality on air today, the different radio promotions and of course the different talents that have been discovered in the industry over the years. At many luganda speaking radio stations theatre actors have extended their craft to the radio too. Take for example on stations like Buganda kingdom’s CBS FM, Super FM, Dembe fm and Radio Simba. Over the years some radio pioneers such as Yusuf EE has since moved on to television(NTV) where he hosts he a sports programme. Prominent radio talent in the likes of Rasta Rob mc abandoned the craft and left the country (for the UK) if he will jump back is almost an illusion.
Undisputed talent in names such as Allan Mugisa (Cantenkerous) have passed on. There’s lots of fresh talent on the scene who are still finding it a hustle creating identity for themselves because besides hearing them on the radio no body seems to recognize them on the streets has was the case in the mid-nineties when radio was still a fresh phenomenon to the Ugandan people. Many radio stations have continued to scramble for number one market positions according to research with others rubbishing market research reports as a hoax by some players to make it look like they are the best. Is this true? My guess is as good as yours. Any ways to cut the long story short yours truly the puzzle thinks its high time to recognize exceptional radio talent that has blessed Ugandan airwaves in the form of personalities and shows through inducting them Uganda’s first ever radio hall of fame. A museum through which their pictorials and profiles, radio programme recordings e.t.c can be found for history purposes for they contributed in a way or another to the growth of the industry.
Well my list may not be as exclusive for now but I shall give a small list of Ugandans that I think should be inducted in Ugandan’s first ever hall of fame; Peter sematimba, Alex Ndaula, Allan Mugisa(Cantankerous) R.I.P., Daniel Vien, Dj Berry (R.I.P),RS Elvis, Candy Lynn Wekesa, Patrick Quarcoo, William Pike, Bill Tibingana, Bills Butodenne, Timothy Kalyegira, Joel Isabirye, Sharp Sewali, Dj Bangi (R.I.P) ,Nash Kiwanuka, Yusuf EE, Collin Mutambo, Meddie Nsereko, G-Man Nyakaana, Allan Kasujja, Rasta Rob Mc, Gloria Kamba ,Christine Mawadri, Dj Karim Brown ,Charles Okot etc. Well, the list may not be too exhaustive for now but I suppose the above individuals qualify for induction to Uganda’s radio hall of fame for their various contributions to Uganda’s radio game. It might sound like a history lesson, but the problem with many a Ugandan is that they forget too fast and tend to take some things for granted however in some much organized societies all sections of history tend to be archived for future reference and that’s why I insist that we need museums of the arts be it music or television for theirs many a tourists that need to learn one or two about such information. Don’t sweat it. It simply remains my (the puzzle) simple opinion. Radio Hall of fame History The National Radio Hall of Fame and Museum, located in the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago, Illinois, is a museum dedicated to recognizing those who have contributed to the development of the radio medium throughout its history in the United States.
Radio programs as well as individuals are eligible for induction. Inductees to the museum are nominated by the National Radio Hall of Fame & Museum Steering Committee. The committee is appointed by the President of the Museum of Broadcast Communications, and is composed of radio executives, academicians, trade journalists, and others interested in radio's history. The Steering Committee recommends nominations in the following categories:
Pioneer Network or Syndicated
Active Network or Syndicated

A ballot listing the nominees is sent out every May to all Museum of Broadcast Communications members for voting. Winners are announced at the annual August meeting. As of 2007 more than 135 individuals and programs inductees have been selected.
The 2007 inductees were sportscaster Jerry Coleman, "the voice of the San Diego Padres"; pioneering African American writer Richard Durham (Destination Freedom); actor-comedian Jimmy Durante; legendary New York disc jockey Dan Ingram; and jazz great Marian McPartland of NPR.
