The 20th annual Hall of Fame ceremony will be held Jan. 20 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The seven selections for 2011 will join more than 100 small screen notables who have been inducted into the Hall since it was founded in 1984.

WME's Mark Itkin headed the selection committee comprised of Fox alternative prexy Mike Darnell, NBC Universal's Bonnie Hammer, Warner Bros. TV prexy Peter Roth, composer Ray Colcord and industry vet Fred Silverman.

"This year's honorees are an outstanding group of creative individuals who have all made a significant impact and sparked amazing changes in the television industry," Itkin said. "They are rightfully deserving of this honor."
