Ann Liguori, renowned sports talk show host, journalist, and author, picked up a ‘Gracie Award’ to add to her trophy case. The Gracie Awards are awards presented by the Alliance for Women in Media to celebrate and honor programming created for women, by women, and about women.
‘Talking Golf with Ann Liguori,’ heard Sunday mornings, 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. EST, on WFAN-NY, won in the ‘Talk Show – Sports (Radio – Local, Major Market) category.
The winning entry from her 2022 season featuredAnn talking about the battle between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Ann’s guest in that show was Christine Brennan of USA Today. Both women shared strong opinions about the controversial topic.
“I’m thrilled to have won a Gracie Award,” says Liguori, “and more importantly, is the fact that there is a category for women in sport’s broadcasting! I applaud the Alliance for Women in Media for creating this category and for recognizing and appreciating women in so many areas of the broadcast industry.”
Ann’s ‘Talking Golf’ show features Ann talking about the top news and issues in golf, and her in-depth interviews with top names, movers and shakers in the sport.
Her book, ‘A Passion for Golf, Celebrity Musings about the Game’ is a collection of these interviews. Ann’s second book, ‘Life Lessons in Golf,’ will be published in the spring of 2024.
Ann was the first female to host a call-in sports talk show on WFAN-NY, the first all-sports radio station. ‘Hey Liguori, What’s the Story’ aired weekly for 25 years. In addition, Ann was the first woman to host a weekly, prime-time show on the Golf Chanel. ‘Conversations with Ann Liguori’ featured Ann playing golf and walking with A-List celebrities while getting them to share sides of them, seldom heard.
