Tom Fallon


Tom Fallon was born and raised in Allentown and graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1992. Having spent most of his fall Saturdays in Beaver Stadium, Tom applied to only one college and graduated from Penn State University in 1996 with a degree in Journalism. After working for one year at WRSC radio in State College, Tom returned to the Lehigh Valley and soon became a morning show host for 1320 Sports WTKZ. When WTKZ was sold and changed formats in November 1999, Tom stayed busy doing play-by-play for high school football and basketball, as well as Lehigh University and the Pennsylvania Valley Dawgs. He even did some TV work for Service Electric and still does from time to time.

Tom was hired in February 2002 as Program Director of WEEX, and has co-hosted the Happy Hour show since its inception. Tom still bleeds Penn State blue and white and waves a Terrible Towel in support of his Pittsburgh Steelers. He also enjoys making trips to different Major League ballparks every year, especially to Yankee Stadium in his Don Mattingly jersey.
