New class set to be inducted into broadcasting hall of fame

Tickets are now available for the Museum of Broadcasting's 2009 Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony in Golden Valley.

Eleven new members - one of them a husband-and-wife team - are being inducted this year into the Hall of Fame. They include Steve Edelman and Sharon Anderson Edelman, who hosted the daytime television show "Good Company" on KSTP-TV for years; KARE-TV anchor Diana Pierce; and veteran Twin Cities broadcaster Stan Turner.

The gala will be held Oct. 10 at the Metropolitan Ballroom in Golden Valley. Comedian Louie Anderson and KSTP-TV anchor Cyndy Brucato will host.

The Museum of Broadcasting houses the Joseph R. Pavek Collection of antique radio, television and broadcasting equipment in St. Louis Park.
