Tom Maloney

Vice President of Radio Operations

As Vice President of Radio Operations, Tom is responsible for overseeing Lakeshore Public Radio. He oversees the radio station’s programming, as well as news. He was instrumental in bringing several different genres of music to Lakeshore Public Radio.
 
Prior to his working at Lakeshore Public Media, Tom worked at Meyer Broadcasting, in Crown Point, where he was a play-by-play announcer for local high school sports as well as the Program Director.
 
He graduated from Boone Groove High School (Valparaiso, IN) and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunications from Ball State University (Muncie, IN). He earned his Master of Arts in Communications from Purdue Northwest (Hammond, IN).

When he’s not programming the radio station or running around the office looking for his coffee mug, he is reading, on his rower or playing one of his many guitars. Sometimes at the same time.

  • NIPSCO, has made a request with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission to adjust its natural gas base rates. The proposed increase, filed with the IURC, will undergo a thorough and nearly yearlong regulatory review process. We’ll hear from two representatives about the plan. NWI financial advisor Greg Hammer will share tips to help prepare for your financial future in the age of AI. But up first, environmental advocacy groups are speaking out against NIPSCO’s planned peaker plant. We’ll speak to Susan Thomas with JustTransition NWI. All of that on this edition of Regionally Speaking. Story clarification: The NIPSCO gas rate increase request was filed on October 25, 2023 is not related to the NIPSCO natural gas peaking plant request filed September 12, 2023. They are two separate filings being considered by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). The Peaker filing is associated with electric generation.
