One of the most enduring and well-respected voices in radio today belongs to Scott Shannon, an acknowledged authority on music from early rock ‘n’ roll to today’s hits. The “Shannon in the Morning” show was most recently broadcast on legendary New York radio station, WCBS-FM 101.1 from 2014-2022. Although Scott retired from his morning show gig at CBS-FM in December of 2022, he is still quite active in radio today. Scott is the creator and host of the nationally syndicated radio station, the “True Oldies Channel” and he is also the voice of the “Sean Hannity Radio Show,” which has over 500 affiliates nationwide.
Scott created the revolutionary “Morning Zoo” show format in Tampa at Q105 (WRBQ). He also helped create and launch New York’s iconic Z100 (WHTZ) in 1983 and as Program Director & Host of the “Z Morning Zoo,” Scott took the radio station from “worst to first” in the Arbitron ratings in a historic 74 days!

I've been in radio for more than 25 years working for no less than 10 different stations around New England including Providence, Boston, Bridgeport, New London, New Bedford and now the Seacoast. Additionally I've been heard in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Indianapolis, and I've hosted nationally syndicated shows including "Backtrax USA" "True Oldies" "Today's Best Hits" and others.
Outside of radio, I've done TV work in Providence and New Haven, appeared in a few film projects, and owned my own production company.
In my spare time I'm thrilled to split time between my new home in Dover and my place in Rhody with my better half, my step kids and family. I'm a real foodie, love trying new restaurants (Italian, seafood, Sushi), a fine red wine nut (and, yes, I save the corks), pretty avid record collector, love mid-century pop culture memorabilia (I have one of Johnny Carson's desk coffee mugs, a Paul McCartney autographed tour poster, 1964 World's Fair plates), and I just love warm weather! Oh, and I'm quite the politics nut both history and current events, so you definitely want me at your table on trivia night.
