Allison Woods

Allison Woods’ television career began in western Arkansas and now she’s thrilled to return to an area that means to so much to her. Allison is the Weekend Anchor for 5NEWS. She comes back to Northwest Arkansas after spending time as the weekend Anchor in Joplin MO for the ABC affiliate.

Allison graduated from Northwestern Oklahoma State University with a B.S in Mass Communications.

Allison grew up in a small Kansas town with her three sisters. Since she was a kid, Allison has enjoyed traveling.

Allison is glad to be back in Arkansas, which she considers “home.” She says the beautiful outdoors is what draws her to Arkansas, as she spends whatever free time she has on the rivers in the area.
