Tom Allen Steps Into NCAB Presidency

Tom Allen
Senior Vice President of Broadcasting

The North Carolina Association of Broadcasters (NCAB) recently inducted Capitol Broadcasting Senior Vice President of Broadcasting Tom Allen as President of its organization. On December 19, 2000, Allen was sworn in for the 2001 term.

Allen replaces Walker Morris, General Manager/Owner of WIOZ-WKQB in Southern Pines, who served as NCAB President for 2000. As Morris stepped down he said to Allen, "Congratulations, Tom, and good luck dealing with Washington issues in what promises to be a very unpredictable and potentially unruly year."

WRAL-FM General Manager Ardie Gregory was elected as a director of the NCAB last year as well. Her three-year term began January 1, 2001.

Recently celebrating its 50th anniversary, the NCAB is recognized as one of the top broadcasters' associations in the nation in terms of legislative victories, education, services, benefits and legal assistance. The NCAB

promotes cooperation and understanding between broadcast members, helps these broadcasters operate profitable and well-managed stations, provides members with current legal and legislative services, and helps educate the public and businesses about the uses and values of broadcasting. CBC is a long-time member of the NCAB.
