2016 National Radio Hall of Fame inductee and Marconi Award Winner Delilah, the most-listened-to-woman on radio in the U.S., embraced the medium when she was a middle-schooler in Reedsport, Oregon, reporting school news and sports on KDUN-AM, a small station in her hometown. Delilah's soothing voice, open heart and love of music have expanded her audience from the folks in Reedsport to more than eight million weekly listeners on approximately 160 radio stations in the U.S. Delilah, who celebrated the 25-year anniversary of her nighttime radio program in 2011, was honored at the Alliance of Women in Media's 37th Annual Gracie Awards Gala where she took home the trophy for "Outstanding Host - Entertainment/Information."
Delilah, loves her work "because it has allowed me to bring together a distinct community of people who reach out to help one another. We don't try to fix people. We listen. We sympathize. We empathize. If the show has a message, it's listen to your own gut. Trust your own intuition. Go where it leads. Don't give up."
Daily broadcasts, caring for her children, running a foundation, writing books, traveling and public speaking add up to a very busy life for Delilah. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
