In 1992, when she was called up to join NBC, she left CNN. She hosted games for the National Basketball Association, Women's National Basketball Association, and the Olympic Games. Hannah was the first anchor to provide play-by-play for the WNBA in 1997; she broadcasted NBA games from 1997 to 2002. She also hosted Major League Baseball games from 1994 to 2000.
Hannah also covered Wimbledon, the World Figure Skating Championships, and the U.S. Open Golf Tournament. After ten years with NBC, Storm moved to CBS in 2002 and hosted The Early Show with several co-hosts. Her work with CBS included coverage of the Iraq War, the 2005 London terrorist bombings, and the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Storm interviewed President George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, as well as Elton John, Tiger Woods, Halle Berry, and Jamie Foxx. Storm hosted 48 Hours, the CBS award-winning news magazine, and worked as a co-host for the CBS Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2007, Storm wrote a daily blog for CBSNews.com, in which she discussed inspirational women's stories.
In 2007, CBS announced that Hannah Storm was leaving the show "The Early Show". She then joined ESPN in May 2008. Storm is a great writer and has contributed to many magazines, such as Cosmopolitan, Family Circle, Nick Jr., Notre Dame Magazine, and Child.
Hannah created the Hannah Storm Foundation. She revealed a vascular birthmark under her eye on CBS, which gave her a black eye effect without makeup, but she had it removed with LASER surgery. Her foundation helps children suffering from vascular birthmarks. Her confidence rebounded when she returned to the screen within three weeks of the surgery.
Storm suffered second-degree burns to her chest and hands, as well as first-degree burns to her neck and face, as a result of a propane gas grill accident at her house on December 11, 2012.
Authorities were notified of the accident by her 15-year-old daughter. Storm had lost her eyebrows, eyelashes, and about half of her hair. She returned to the air on January 1, 2013, co-hosting the Rose Parade on ABC while wearing a bandage on her left hand and sporting hair extensions. She returned to SportsCenter on January 13, 2013, to host the Sunday-morning edition with Bob Ley after receiving medical care from the Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York.
