Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, shock-rock pioneer, and Valley favorite Alice Cooper has earned induction into the Radio Hall of Fame, cementing his place among the most influential voices in broadcasting.
The induction, on Oct. 30, recognized Cooper’s two-decade career on the airwaves as host of the nationally syndicated programs “Nights with Alice Cooper” and “Alice’s Attic with Alice Cooper,” which is currently distributed by Superadio Networks.
“Hearing my songs across stations around the world never gets old. Hosting ‘Nights With Alice Cooper’ and, more recently, ‘Alice’s Attic,’ has deepened my love of radio, playing records, telling stories and connecting with listeners everywhere,” Cooper shared in a press release. “For that, I want to first thank Andy Denemark from United Stations, who believed in ‘Nights With Alice Cooper’ and made it happen. And a special thanks to Eric Faison and his team at Superadio, who helped us re-launch the show as ‘Alice’s Attic’ and have done an incredible job growing the show.”

Formed at Cortez High School in Phoenix as the Earwigs in 1964, the core of the group of Cooper, Glen Buxton, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith evolved into Alice Cooper, which first hit the Top 40 with “I’m Eighteen” in 1970. The classic lineup split in 1974 after seven albums in six years (four of which went platinum), and iconic hits like “School’s Out” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.”
First inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, Cooper revolutionized the sound and spectacle of rock with his theatrical, genre-bending performances that shaped glam, metal and punk. His enduring passion for storytelling and music discovery translated to radio, where “Alice’s Attic” delivers a five-hour daily mix of classic rock staples, deep cuts and behind-the-scenes tales to fans across the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
The 2025 Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, held in Chicago, celebrated 10 other broadcasting luminaries, including Tom “Mojo” Carballo (“Mojo in the Morning”), Colin Cowherd (Fox Sports Radio), Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch (“The Bob & Sheri Show”), DeDe McGuire (“DeDe in the Morning”), Martha Quinn (“The Martha Quinn Show”), Scott Simon (NPR’s “Weekend Edition”) and Shelley “The Playboy” Stewart, as well as industry executives Mike McVay and Julie Talbott.
