Quincy’s Tom Allen Retires After 40 Years In TV
Television executive Tom Allen has retired from the broadcast industry after four decades working in and managing local television stations. Allen was a regional vice president with Quincy Media, overseeing the operation of Quincy-owned television stations across Wisconsin and several other states.
“I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with lots of wonderful and talented people at some amazing stations over the course of my career,” Allen said. “It has truly been a privilege to work in an industry as dynamic as local broadcasting.”
A native of Wisconsin, Allen returned home in 2008, based in Madison at ABC affiliate WKOW, then owned by Quincy (it has since been sold to Allen Media Broadcasting in a deal that closed earlier this week). While in Wisconsin, Tom served on the board of the Wisconsin Broadcaster’s Association for eight years and was chair of the WBA in 2016. Prior to his time in Madison, Allen held management positions at television stations in Nashville, Tulsa, Cleveland and Raleigh, N.C.
Allen and his wife Patti, along with their quarantine puppy Cooper, now live and play in the beautiful mountains of north Georgia.
