Congratulations, Dr. Dobson!
After 31 years of broadcasting, Dr. Dobson has been honored with induction to the National Radio Hall of Fame. The 2008 Class was the first selected through national online voting, and the “Focus on the Family” broadcast is the first religious program to receive such an honor. From a press release earlier today:
“I’ve made a living putting thoughts into words throughout my adult life, but it is difficult to express how I feel about this honor,” said Dr. James Dobson today at a staff assembly. “I am especially pleased because the wonderful people at Focus on the Family deserve it. Our radio program has not been a solo effort. It has been a symphony performed by more than 10,000 people over the past 32 years. I am indebted to them all.’
“Particularly, I want to thank the Broadcast Team, past and present. They get a big ‘tip of the hat’ for all their hard work and dedication. They have earned the accolades this honor recognizes. I also want to thank all the friends across the nation who cast their votes for me. I love and appreciate them all.”

And, thanks so much to the many who took the time to vote and make this honor for Dr. Dobson possible.

Congratulations to Dr. Dobson, you John, and the entire Focus on the Family team! A fitting honor for three decades of helping families hold firm in their faith and encouraging them to stand up for truth. Again, congratulations on this honor.
Congratulations to you, John, for your contributions over the last 15+ years. You have influenced guests as a producer from the sixth floor of the bank building. You have encouraged stations and station growth as a member of Briargate. And now, you are the bridge to the listener as co-host. I thank God for you and your influence over the daily - and now other broadcasts. I also continue to pray for a hedge of protection around you. May God continue to press you to your family and to Himself.
I am so excited for Dr. Dobson and everyone involved with the broadcast! It is such a blessing that Dr. Dobson will be a continuing voice for Focus on the Family and the Christian worldview.
Many thanks for the kind comments! Psalm 115:1…
