QUINCY â The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences honored former Quincy Media Inc. President and CEO Thomas A. Oakley with the Gold Circle award, which recognizes individuals who have spent at least 50 years in the broadcast industry.
Chad Mahoney, WGEM news director and NATAS Mid-America executive secretary, said the award was meant to be presented during a banquet at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
