I've done my best to piece together all the winners of the McCalls Golden Mike Awards for the known years for 1951 through 1965. Some awards are given out for specific work in one year, but granted in the following year leading to some disambiguation in the broadcaster's own biographies. Some awards were also given jointly, I've listed those names separately for clarity. In several cases the winners later married, or remarried leading to a mix of surnames on their obits. I've left those a mess I'm sure. Some ladies won more than once further confusing secondary sources.
Further confusion is caused by the American Legion award of the same name, also granted in the 1960s. Note: the award was discontinued by McCalls in 1965, and brought back by AWRT in 1967 according to a Sept. 1967 issue of Broadcasting Magazine, so there were no awardees in 1966.
There is also disambiguation between the year of publication and the year of the award. The 1951 awards were announced in May of 1952. Different sources may refer to awards by either year, including McCalls themselves. I have stuck with year of publication for consistency. I have added an asterisk by the year of all fully corroborated awardees, preferred sources being MCalls, and/or Broadcasting Magazines.
