Brannigan, a 2012 inductee into the Country Radio Hall of Fame will be honored during the Country Radio Hall of Fame Induction Dinner and Awards Ceremony October 13 at The Westin in Nashville.
The CRB President’s Award is presented to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the marketing, production, growth, and development of the Country Radio Seminar and the multiple services that Country Radio Broadcasters provide to the country radio and music communities.

Beverlee Brannigan’s lengthy career includes stints with SummitMedia, Scripps, Journal Broadcast Group and others across a wide spectrum of experiences — from on-air, programming and GM to corporate roles. She currently helps air personalities and content creators connect with their audiences through confident and effective storytelling.
CRB/CRS Board President, Kurt Johnson, commented, “Few people have impacted CRB, CRS, and Country music at the level of Beverlee Branigan. As a highly successful radio professional she has produced great local radio and helped develop the careers of countless country stars. As an officer of the board of directors she brings wisdom, insight, creativity and conscience to all our dealings at CRB. In short, our entire format is much stronger thanks to Beverlee’s talent and commitment.”
