Steve Crosno to be honored posthumously by Texas Radio Hall of Fame Saturday, October 27 in Dallas, Texas
The late Steve Crosno, El Paso’s legendary radio personality, will be honored posthumously with instatement into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame’s “Hall of Honor.” The Hall of Honor recognizes those who have made significant and notable contributions to radio.
Crosno will be one of five radio broadcasters named to the “Hall of Honor” at the 2007 Texas Radio Hall of Fame Induction Celebration Dinner and Awards Program Saturday evening October 27 at the Marriott Dallas-Addison Quorum by the Galleria Hotel. The members of the “Hall of Honor” remain highly eligible to be considered for induction into the Hall of Fame in the future. Twelve honorees will be inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame at this year’s event.
Steve Crosno was perhaps the most recognized radio personality in the region of El Paso, Texas for much of the past 50 years. Born Stephen Charles Edward Crosno in 1939, Steve Crosno began his radio broadcasting career at the age of 16 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Over the years his popularity grew to the point where Crosno became a kind of cultural icon whose voice, image and sense of humor became known to almost everyone in El Paso, Las Cruces, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The music played by Steve Crosno became known as “the El Paso sound,” and his innovations included playing Spanish language music on English language formats.
The 2007 Texas Radio Hall of Fame Induction Celebration Dinner and Awards Program is open to the public. Friends and fans of Steve Crosno who would like to attend may obtain tickets and further information at the Texas Radio Hall of Fame website: www.texasradiohalloffame.com.
