Tom McAuliffe II is the President and Owner of MyFM Media 101.3, one of Massachusetts’ most awarded and innovative local media companies.
For more than three decades, Tom has challenged conventional thinking about what a local media company can be.
While many in broadcasting focused on what radio was losing, Tom focused on what it was becoming. Under his leadership, MyFM evolved from a standalone AM station with an FM translator—operating under the shadow of the Boston, Worcester, and Providence media markets—into a multi-platform media, marketing, content, and community engagement company that has earned 14 Massachusetts Broadcasters Association Station of the Year recognitions.
Inspired by visionaries such as P.T. Barnum and Jesse Cole of the Savannah Bananas, Tom believes success comes from creating memorable experiences, challenging assumptions, and refusing to accept “the way it’s always been done.” That mindset has helped transform MyFM into one of New England’s most recognized local media brands while remaining fiercely committed to localism, community connection, and innovation.
Beyond broadcasting, Tom has become a recognized advocate for local business growth, community engagement, entrepreneurship, and innovative thinking.
Through initiatives focused on education, workforce development, local sports and recreation, senior services, economic development, and community impact, he continues to explore new ways media can connect people, strengthen communities, and inspire action.
A frequent speaker on leadership, innovation, marketing, sales strategy, and adapting to change, Tom challenges audiences to rethink conventional wisdom and embrace new possibilities.
His message is simple:
“The organizations that thrive aren’t always the biggest, the best funded, or the most visible. They’re the ones willing to think differently, adapt continuously, and become something greater than anyone thought possible.”
