Mahalick Resigns, Becker Upped At Alpha

• After nearly a decade of service of Alpha Media, EVP of Programming Scott Mahalick announced his resignation from the company, effective April 8. Concurrently, it was announced that Alpha Media VP of Programming and Content Phil Becker will be elevated into the EVP role.

Commenting on Mahalick’s lengthy tenure with the company, Alpha Media CEO Bob Proffitt said, “Scott’s contributions are far too numerous to mention but suffice it to say that Scott’s work ethic, competitiveness, and passion are woven into Alpha in many ways. Scott is, and will always remain a huge Alpha fan, cheerleader, and significant shareholder in the company.” Mahalick (left) said, “It’s been a pleasure to contribute to Alpha for the past decade and lead our high-performance team. I want to thank Larry Wilson, Bob Proffitt, Donna Heffner, our Regional Presidents and John Grossi for supporting my innovative, crazy ideas.”

Weighing in on Becker’s promotion, Proffitt said, “Phil has shown over the years amazing leadership, creativity, forward thinking and management skills. We are thrilled with what he has done with the company so far, and I’m excited to welcome him to our core executive team.”

Becker (right) added, “I can’t thank Scott enough for bringing me into Alpha and for letting me work alongside him for the last five years. The two of us have accomplished some remarkable things together, and I want to thank Bob for allowing me the opportunity to continue to do so. Alpha is a ‘think differently’ kind of company, and I look forward to working closer with all departments.”
