Frank Boyle, a 1950 journalism graduate, received the Library of American Broadcasting Foundation’s prestigious Giants of Broadcasting and Electronic Arts award last fall. 

He was honored alongside Hall of Fame sports broadcaster Bob Costas, Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts, Emmy and Golden Globes nominated actress and Happy Days alum Marion Ross, and others.   

“I've been very fortunate,” he said of the recognition. “The award for being a giant of radio was stunning.” 

Boyle owes his radio career to a mistake. When he returned from his tour in WWII, his old headmaster in Nashua recommended for him to study chemical science at “Michigan.” He applied to the first address in his book and was quickly accepted at Michigan State. His headmaster intended for him to apply to the University of Michigan.
