A native son of Bassett, Virginia, Gene Allen first went to work at B99-9 in the 90s. After graduating from Radford University, Gene moved out of the area and pursued a career in banking.

In 2018, he had the opportunity to return to B99-9, where he has worked the midday shift, afternoons, and a stint with Dan “The Man” Taylor doing mornings.

Gene has settled into afternoons now on B99-9.
