- A long time Cincinnati, Ohio television presenter and host, Bob Shreve was particularly well known as the host of the almost-all-night Past Prime Playhouse on WKRC Television between ca. 1966 and 1985.
- In 2022, Bob Shreve, was a nominee in the "The Official Horror Host Hall of Fame".
- In 1992, Bob Shreve was posthumously inducted into the Greater Cincinnati Broadcast Hall of Fame. The honor was accepted by his widow Jane (the former Mary Jane Keller, whom he married in August 1948) and son Robert Shreve, Jr.
- In the late 1960s/early 1970s; Shreve recorded an album, Good Olé [sic] Bob Doing His Thing for Cincinnati's King Records with the Dee Felice Trio backing him. The album eschewed his popular comedy routines to present a mellow, sentimental showcase for Shreve's warm Irish tenor voice and his affection for pop standards like "That Old Gang of Mine" and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." With a cover sporting the King Records legend of "A James Brown Production," the album is now one of the most coveted Shreve (and Brown) collectibles; only two or three thousand copies were pressed.
