There is a volunteer organisation in the United States made up of top-level female radio professionals who are dedicated to helping other women in the industry develop leadership skills.

Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio – known simply as MIW – is committed to advocating for the advancement of women to senior positions in the radio industry.

Now, MIW has recognised Karen Carson for her dedication and contribution to the broadcast industry and the communities she serves, presenting her with the 2025 MIW Airblazer Award.

Carson is the voice behind Karen Carson in the Morning, the only female-led morning show in New York radio.

“To be recognised by Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio, and to receive the Airblazer Award is truly an honour,” said Carson.

“I’ve always believed in the power of authentic connection through audio, and to be celebrated for doing what I love, alongside a team I adore, is just amazing.”
