Alumni Spotlight: Ryan Hoppe

Meet Ryan Hoppe, the Unstoppable Force of Radio

Ryan Hoppe, a 2014 graduate of the Illinois Media School (formerly Illinois Center for Broadcasting), has been making monumental strides in the radio industry. From his humble beginnings in first grade, when his passion for radio sparked, to his current role as a "Jack of all Trades" at Beasley Media Group in Tampa, Ryan's career trajectory is nothing short of inspiring.

Journey from Aspiration to Achievement

Ryan's career began in 2012 when he made his on-air debut at Harper College Radio WHCM 88.3. This experience was a stepping stone that led to internships at the Morning Show Boot Camp and enrolling at the Illinois Media School. During his time at IMS, Ryan hosted two highly popular internet radio shows, "The Hoppe & SuperRICH Show" and "The Friday Sports Riot," interviewing sports legends and industry pros along the way.

Building Expertise and Recognition

Ryan's hands-on experience extended to Dance Factory Radio and WNUR 89.3 FM. His notable seven-year tenure with Cox Media Group 102.5 The Bone earned him multiple nominations for "Best Up and Comer Radio Personality" and "Best Radio Personality in Tampa Bay Radio." Now at Beasley Media Group in Tampa, Ryan excels in promotions and production across multiple stations, including Wild 94.1, 98.7 The Shark, 99.5 QYK, Q105, and 92.5 Maxima.

The Award-Winning "Hoppe Hour"

Ryan's achievements are further highlighted by his award-winning podcast, "Hoppe Hour," available on all major podcasting platforms under "Hoppe Radio." This platform has positioned him as a significant voice in the radio industry, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Howard Stern and Pete Davidson.

Accolades and Industry Impact

  • Seven-time nominee and two-time laureate of the "Hoppe Hour" podcast.
  • Runner up for Best Radio Website in Illinois (2014).
  • Nominated for Best Radio Personality in Tampa Bay Radio (2022).
  • Multiple nominations for Best Local Podcast (2015-2022), with wins in 2015 and 2017.
  • Recognized as Best Up and Coming Radio Personality (2019-2021).
  • Extensive industry experience in Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Chicago.

Words of Wisdom

Ryan's advice to current students? "Never give up and accept that the journey is a long grind. Realize that haters are just talking about their own insecurities." This empowering message resonates with aspiring media professionals, emphasizing the perseverance and resilience required to succeed.

Celebrate Ryan's Success

Join us in celebrating Ryan Hoppe's incredible career path and wishing him continued success. His story is a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the right education.
