She also previously hosted and executive produced ESPN’s primetime interview specials - In Focus with Hannah Storm and Face to Face with Hannah Storm - where she interviewed various newsmakers in sports. In 2018, Storm made sports broadcasting history once again when she, along with veteran sports broadcaster Andrea Kremer, became the first female duo to call a NFL game as part of Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football. The duo is set to embark on calling their fourth season of NFL games for Amazon in 2021. Prior to ESPN, Storm had successful TV stints at CBS as host of The Early Show, CNN and NBC Sports. In 2008, Storm added to her creative passions with the creation of Brainstormin’ Productions, a production company that creates documentaries, short films and branded content. Recent projects include Danica, a documentary in conjunction with EPIX on racing superstar Danica Patrick that won an honor at New York Film Festival award, and content for brands such as Under Armour and Secret. Also in 2008, she launched the Hannah Storm Foundation which advocates for children and parents of children suffering from debilitating vascular birthmarks. Storm’s passion for this cause stems from her personal experience with it: she was born with a port wine stain underneath her left eye.
