Mike Allen
Anchor/Reporter
Mike Allen is an Anchor/Reporter for FOX5.
Mike has crossed the country several times during his reporting career – leaving his home in Southern California for Upstate New York, Central Oregon, Northwest Arkansas, and now Las Vegas. On that journey, he’s sat down with U.S. Senators, covered court cases that have made worldwide news, and established a segment that takes viewers further into hot-button issues.
Mike also specializes in covering weather, having reported live on 8-foot snowstorms, 100,000-acre fires, and an F-3 tornado that touched down across the street from his home.
You might see Mike walking the trails of the Valley with his Giant Schnauzer, Alan. He’d like to point out that Alan was named by his fiancée before the two met, so while the dog isn’t Alan Allen yet – he will be soon.
Mike is a dedicated LA Chargers and Angels fan. He’s adopting the Golden Knights as his NHL team, but for now, the Raiders are out of the question.
