Mande Dellinger and Ryan Hunter from Beasley Media Group have joined the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, marking decades of work in Las Vegas radio and TV.
Las Vegas radio and TV have two new Hall of Famers. Mande Dellinger and Ryan Hunter, both longtime members of Beasley Media Group’s local team, were inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place at Durango Casino & Resort on September 19, 2026. This was the 30th annual event honoring Nevada’s broadcasting professionals. According to a regional report by KSNV, the night focused on the lasting work of radio and TV stations across the state.
To be considered for the Hall of Fame, broadcasters must have at least 20 years in the industry, with five of those years spent working in Nevada. KSNV confirmed these official criteria. Only those with a real, long-term impact on Nevada broadcasting are chosen. Dellinger and Hunter now join a small group whose careers have shaped the state’s media scene.
Mande Dellinger’s Las Vegas journey
Dellinger moved from Colorado to Las Vegas in 1998 to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She earned her communications degree in 2002 and started at Beasley Media Group as a national sales coordinator. Over the years, she worked as executive assistant to Tom Humm, national sales manager, regional AR captain, and later as integrated sales and digital strategy manager. Dellinger became known for taking on new roles and adapting to the company’s needs. She left broadcasting for a short time, but returned to Beasley in 2019, showing her commitment to Las Vegas radio.
Ryan Hunter’s on-air impact
Hunter has been a steady voice for Las Vegas listeners for more than twenty years. He now hosts weekends on 96.3 KKLZ and the afternoon drive on 107.9 Coyote Country. His shows focus on topics that matter to the local community. Hunter has also worked behind the scenes in TV as an engineer and narrator. He keeps his programming tied to Las Vegas life, a quality that helped earn him a spot in the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026.
Durango Casino & Resort hosts the ceremony
The induction at Durango Casino & Resort brought together veterans and newcomers in Nevada broadcasting. The Nevada Broadcasters Association created its Hall of Fame to honor professionals whose passion and years of work have shaped the state’s media. As documented by The Nevada Independent, the Hall of Fame has a long tradition. Inductees like former radio journalist Jon Killoran were honored as early as 2004. This shows the award is about steady, real contribution—not just a one-time company honor.
Las Vegas broadcasting in context
Las Vegas is known for entertainment and hospitality, but local broadcasters help shape the city’s story. Recent coverage of nightlife and hospitality trends shows how media professionals connect people to what’s happening across the valley.
Beasley Media Group’s recognition of Dellinger and Hunter is more than a company milestone. It shows that the strength of Las Vegas broadcasting comes from people who keep telling the city’s stories year after year. Their induction into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame is proof that local radio and TV still matter to the region’s identity, even as Las Vegas keeps changing.
