THE MOUTH, JULY 18TH, 2023 –– As we all grapple with the soon-to-be reality of radio without our daily reliance on All Access, we are most pleased to announce that its founder, president and publisher Joel Denver will be honored with a special radio lifetime achievement award during next month’s Morning Show Boot Camp 35 at the Marriott Uptown Dallas.
This comes on the heels of last Friday’s announcement that after 28 years, All Access will soon be ending its operation. Denver posted on Friday, “It is with much sadness that we announce in our 28th year of operation, AllAccess.com will cease publishing at the close of business at 6p (PT), Tuesday August 15th, 2023. Denver added, “This is without question the saddest and most heartbreaking moment of my professional life to have to tell you that All Access will cease publishing and will be going out of business.” Denver added, “Closing All Access doesn’t mean that I am retiring from the business. I will take a moment to catch my breath and focus on new horizons and opportunities.”
MSBC Founder/Host and Publisher of Jockline Daily, Don Anthony, commented: The basic tenets of ‘Morning Show Boot Camp has always been rooted in innovation, authenticity and those standing out from the rest. Who more than Joel has represented these principles any better? Nearly 30-years ago he created something that totally changed the way we get our daily news. Along the way, he became one of the industry’s top advocates, a friend to all and truly one of the nicest, most generous humans on this planet. As someone who’s been honored to call him a friend for over 40 years, I’m deeply honored to pay tribute to his lifetime of achievements and numerous contributions to our industry.”
This special Award will be presented to Joel before lunch kicks off on Thursday, August 10th. He will be recognized during our awards lunch on Friday.
