The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association consists of approximately 700 leading sportscasters and sportswriters from around the country. And more than 80 sports media legends have been inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame, which began in 1962 with the induction of Grantland Rice.
The NSSA hosts an awards weekend each April that honors a Sportscaster of the Year and Sportswriter of the Year from each state as well as a National Sportscaster and Sportswriter of the Year. A Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place at this time as well.
