Tom Rooney
Saturday 3pm-7pm
Tom has been one of the weekend warriors at 103.9 WFAS since 2005. Occasionally you will hear him filling in during the week or even on AM 1230 WFAS for the Breakfast show...that is when he can be coerced into waking up at 5am.
In his pre-WFAS life, Tom worked at our sister stations WEOK/WPDH in Poughkeepsie and before that, WALK on Long Island. You may have even seen him as the host of “Westchester’s Most Wanted” on local television. He also anchored sports at an upstate TV station for a brief period.
A bean counter during the week, Tom has degrees from almost half the colleges in Westchester County. He has an Associates Degree from Westchester Community College, a Bachelors Degree from Iona College and a Masters Degree from Pace University so Tom thinks that makes him pretty smart...we think he just likes tossing graduation caps in the air.
Tom proudly lives here in Westchester his wife Cookie and their black lab Licorice.
