Scott Shannon
Scott Shannon lives, eats, and breathes radio 24 hours a day.
For the past 17 years Scott has co-hosted the wildly successful “Scott & Todd in the Morning Show” with his partner Todd Pettengill on 95.5 'PLJ.
Besides being the Program Director at ‘PLJ, he also runs the phenomenon known as “The True Oldies Channel”, a nationally syndicated radio network, heard on 60 broadcast stations in the U.S.
Scott came from humble beginnings as the son of a career army soldier; he spent his youth moving from one town to another, soaking up the local radio scenes.
His first job, at age 17, was in Mobile, AL. Then it was on to Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Washington, DC and Tampa -- where he created the incredibly successful format known as the "Morning Zoo" -- a daily 4-hour party-on-the-radio. From there, it was on to New York's Z100, out to Los Angeles for Pirate Radio, and back to NY --where he joined WPLJ in 1991.
Today 'PLJ reigns as the most listened-to Adult Contemporary Station in America, and "Scott & Todd in the Morning" enjoys one of the biggest audiences in the USA.
Scott Shannon has received many awards, including Billboard Magazine's "Air Personality of the Year" in 1988, 1993, 1994 and 1995.
Scott can be found in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in Washington D.C.,and the Museum of Broadcast Communications Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago.
