SUMMARY:Exhibition Debut: Now Stay Tuned
DESCRIPTION: “Now Stay Tuned” explores how broadcasting the Indianapolis 500 helped make the race a global phenomenon. The title is a nod to Sid Collins’ famous phrase\, “now stay tuned for ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’”\, which was created by copywriter Alice Greene in 1955.  \nGuests will hear the voices of generations past as they’re immersed in different eras of broadcasting. With sections including IMS Radio Network\, ABC’s Wide World of Sports\, and present-day FOX Sports coverage\, guests will learn and listen to the voices of beloved broadcasters who have led race coverage\, from Sid Collins and Paul Page to Jim McKay and Bob Jenkins. Guests will also have the chance to become announcers themselves by stepping into a broadcast booth and recording their own race call from pre-selected years.  \nThe exhibition debuts Saturday\, Nov. 22 and will be open through June 2026.
