OUR TALENT
Lanette Hansen
Lanette Hansen is a seasoned radio personality. She is the voice of Magic 98’s Morning Show and is known for her approachable, easy-going and thoughtful demeanor.
She’s a Madison native…graduated from LaFollette High School and earned a degree from University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She lives on the east side of Madison with her husband, Marc, three kids: Everett, Roman and Imogene and two rescue pets, Abe and Daisy. Lanette’s favorite food is sushi, but a close second is literally, anything in a tortilla.
The artist she’s seen the most times in concert is the Indigo Girls, but her two all-time favorite songs are, Michael Jackson, ‘Man in the Mirror’ and Tracy Chapman, ‘Fast Car.’ Her alarm goes off at 3:30 in the morning…good thing she has always been a morning person, but coffee helps. Sports have always been an important part of Lanette’s life. Soccer was her sport of choice, but she’s always game to try something new.
Her best days are spent going on a family bike ride around the lake. Lanette works hard to strengthen the station’s connection to the community in a meaningful way…’that’s the beauty of being locally-owned, we’re right here and can do these great things. I take that part of my job very seriously…I know how important it is.’
