"Tom's promotion is well deserved." says Bernie Prazenica, president and general manager. "He has distinguished himself as a top flight news manager over two decades, and is uniquely qualified to lead Action News into the future on television, online, and on all mobile platforms."

An Ohio native, Davis has been the assistant news director at WPVI since 2004. His career includes a similar position at WJLA Washington.
