Legacy The Bartell Group is credited with being one of the inventors of the Top 40 radio format. In 2010, a monument to KCBQ was put up in the Santee suburb of San Diego, honoring the station and Lee Bartell's role with it. While many of the Bartell-owned radio stations have switch formats since that era, WADO in New York is still a Spanish-language station. Gerald Bartell and Rosa Bartell Evans have both been inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall of Fame, as has Ralph Evans. The Bartell Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin is named after Gerald and is run by the Gerald A. Bartell Community Theatre Foundation. Gerald Bartell has been described in that city's Isthmus newspaper as a "Madison theater legend and arts supporter." The Joyce J. and Gerald A. Bartell Award in the Arts is given out yearly by the University of Wisconsin, as one of several awards with which the university's Arts Institute "recognizes achievements and professional service, along with supporting future creative endeavors and research."
