The Television Academy Hall of Fame was founded by a former president of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the late John H. Mitchell, to honor individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to television.
In the words of the selection committee, the Hall of Fame is for "persons who have made outstanding contributions in the arts, sciences or management of television, based upon either cumulative contributions and achievements or a singular contribution or achievement." Mitchell remained the chair of the Hall of Fame until his death in January 1988.
The Television Hall of Fame does not have a museum open to the public like the Country Music Hall of Fame or Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame or other such "halls of fame" and does not appear to have plans for one in the near future.
