Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio (MIW) has selected Hannah Brummer, also known as Hannah B, as the recipient of its 2025 Elevating Women in Programming Mentorship -- a year-long initiative aimed at advancing women in radio programming roles.

Now in its seventh year, the mentorship connects rising female talent with top industry leaders for one-on-one coaching, networking, and development opportunities. As part of the program, Brummer will also attend the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas, the leading event for audio and broadcast professionals.

Brummer currently serves as the midday host on Chicagoland's Free Country (98.3 & 102.3) with Alpha Media and hosts nighttime shifts on Star 105.5 and WZSR (Star 96.7). She also contributes behind the scenes as Assistant Content Director for both Star stations, assisting with programming and daily content management.

"I'm absolutely thrilled and deeply honored to be selected as this year's recipient of the MIW Elevating Women in Programming Mentorship," said Brummer. "This truly feels like a dream come true. I've been eager to grow both as a programmer and a leader, and this mentorship is the perfect opportunity. I'm so grateful to learn from such an incredible group of women in our industry."

MIW Board Member and former mentee Leslie Scott emphasized the importance of developing female leadership in radio. "With women only representing 12% of Program Directors, MIW knows the importance of raising the next generation of women leaders in the programming space. I am impressed by Hannah's commitment to leadership and I cannot wait for the world to share in her energy."

Previous mentees in the program include WHUR-FM's Traci LaTrelle, former Audacy VP Leslie Scott, and the late Grisel Barajas, among others.

Outside of her radio work, Brummer is active in CrossFit, community service, and enjoys time with her family and friends -- always with a fondness for the color pink.
