    Biographical / Historical Note

    I. Keith Tyler (1905-1994) worked in the Ohio State University's Bureau of Educational Research, first as an assistant professor and research associate, then as an associate professor. In 1930, Tyler developed the Institute for Education by Radio at the Ohio State University, later expanded to the Institute for Education by Radio-Television. In 1943, he was named Director of Radio Education. Tyler developed the Ohio State Awards, a program recognizing excellence in educational, informational and public affairs broadcasting. The Ohio State Awards began in 1936 and continued until 1994 when budget cuts ended the program. Tyler became a professor emeritus in 1975, and was honored with an OSU Distinguished Service Award in 1980 for his 43 years of service. WOSU named an award after Tyler, in honor of his influence on the medium of Educational Radio.
