Alice Cooper Gains Induction Into Radio Hall of Fame

While spending decades exploring genres like hard rock, heavy metal, and glam rock, Alice Cooper also hosted the Nights With Alice Cooper and Alice’s Attic radio shows. Completely surrounding himself with music, the singer not only released numerous albums but also paid tribute to those artists who shaped the music he loved. And thanks to his years on the radio, the “Godfather of Shock Rock” was announced as a member of the 2025 class being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Already holding numerous accolades thanks to his contributions to music, Cooper first landed on the airwaves in January 2004 with Nights With Alice Cooper on 93.3 KDKB in Phoenix. Eventually, the show moved to Classic Rock 100.7 KSLX. Although loving his time on the radio, the show came to an end in September 2023. But not even a year later, Cooper returned with Alice’s Attic. 

Thrilled about his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame, Cooper recalled how the radio was always on when he was a child. “Growing up in Detroit, the radio was always on — it shaped some of my most vivid memories from hearing the Beatles for the first time to the thrill of hearing my own songs on air.”

Alice Cooper Considered Induction “Icing On The Cake”

With the radio holding such a special place in Cooper’s heart, he added, “After years of listening to legendary deejays spin my music, I eventually joined them by launching my own syndicated show over 20 years ago. It’s been a blast ever since — sharing stories, spinning rock ‘n’ roll and now being honored by the Radio Hall Of Fame is truly the icing on the cake.”

Radio Hall of Fame co-chair Dennis Green not only shared his excitement about the new class of inductees but considered it an honor. “It is an honor to induct another amazing class of talented individuals to the Radio Hall Of Fame that adds to the history of radio. These Radio Hall Of Famers have entertained us, informed us, and helped to bring special moments to our lives through a medium that does this better than any other.”

With the ceremony scheduled for October 30th at the Swissotel in Chicago, fans can purchase a ticket to attend the event. While the ticket cost nearly $600 a person, a portion of the sale will go to fund the Museum of Broadcast Communications.
