Tom Carter

Host/Technical Director for Houston Matters

Growing up listening to Houston radio, Tom decided at an early age that radio was the business for him. What started as a small broadcasting job in Conroe as a teenager turned into an almost 40 year radio career with jobs in radio all over Texas, including Houston. When he’s not hosting mid-days, announcing on TV 8 or running the controls during Houston Matters, Tom loves spending time with his wife Darlene at their home in Atascocita and cooking for their three kids when they can all make it back home for a family meal.
