Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio is recognizing syndicated air talent Delilah as the recipient of the 2024 MIW Airblazer Award. Since 2015, the Airblazer Award honors women who have made significant contributions to broadcasting and their communities.
Delilah, who celebrated her show’s 35th anniversary in 2021, is a Radio Hall of Fame inductee. Beyond her broadcasting achievements, she is a radio station owner, author, and philanthropist, having established the Point Hope foundation in 2004 to support children and mothers in Ghana and the US foster care system.
She commands an audience of over eight million weekly listeners across 160 radio stations, making her the most-listened-to-woman on US radio.
Delilah shared, “I’m honored to be recognized by MIW and MSBC and awarded with the Airblazer Award this year, joining a group of very talented women who’ve also received this award. I do my very best to stay true to my audience relationship and provide the best one-on-one communication I know how. If my actions inspire other women on the air to do the same, then I’m all more humbled by this recognition.”
MIW Board President Ruth Presslaff said, “Delilah’s dedication to the radio industry, to children, and to communities far and wide has rightfully garnered an impressive collection of awards. MIW is proud to add Airblazer to the list.”
2023 MIW Airblazer Dana Cortez commented, “Listening to Delilah gave me chills, and learning about her career in radio gave me inspiration. The ceilings she broke through have opened up opportunity for every woman who has ever dreamed of a career behind the mic.”
The award will be presented to her at Morning Show Boot Camp on August 9, at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, CA.
