Sportscaster Hannah Storm

Hannah Storm is a sportscaster who has left an indelible impression on every TV network she's ever been on, and she's been on many.

Born Hannah Storen in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Hannah Storm got her start in radio, working as an announcer on rock stations before covering sports on local stations in Houston and Charlotte.

She joined CNN in 1989 and became a host on "CNN Sports Tonight" before moving to NBC in 1992, where she covered  everything - baseball, basketball the Wimbledon and French Open tennis tournaments, the World Figure Skating Championships, and oh yes, the Olympics.

Ms. Storm hosted late-night coverage of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was on duty at her desk when the first report of a bomb going off in Centennial Olympic Park came through.

A year earlier, baseball player Albert Belle of the Cleveland Indians (now the Guardians) shouted a slew of obscenities at Hannah Storm and several other spots reporters wen they were in the Cleveland dugout during a World Series.  Belle found out something he should have already known: You don't talk to Hannah Storm like that.

Ms. Storm moved to CBS News in 2002 and became one of the hosts of T"he Early Show," where she covered major news events from elections to natural disasters.  Among the people she interviewed were  President George W. Bush, First Lady Laura Bush Senator John McCain, then-Senator Barack Obama, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Tiger Woods, and Jennifer Aniston. 

She left CBS in 2007, going back to what made her famous - sports reporting - and joining ESPN, where she's been ever since.

Fun fact 1: While she was working at a rock station in Texas,  a program director suggested Storm as a pseudonym, so she changed her surname to Storm.

Fun fact 2: A fellow sportscaster at NBC changed her surname to Hicks.   She married Dan Hicks in 1994.
