Radio
broadcaster Larry Walk, a Sunday staple for Mahoning Valley, Ohio polka fans for almost a half century was
recognized for his work by his peers in the broader radio community when he was
inducted into the Broadcasters
Hall of Fame. “I’m
humbled to be a polka guy and getting recognition from a main stream
organization honoring broadcasters of all formats,” said Walk. “I feel like it
lifts up and gives a nod to all the polka professionals everywhere.”
Walk hosts the radio show from his
Austintown home on AM stations WSOM and WKTX with his wife Diana. He has also earned the Lifetime Achievement
Award given by the United States Polka Association.
