<\/a> Scott Shannon<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s been two years since the unmistakable voice of Scott Shannon graced the FM airwaves in Chicago. Now the Radio Hall of Famer is about to make a comeback here.<\/p>\n

\u201cScott Shannon Presents America\u2019s Greatest Hits,\u201d a brand-new nationally syndicated four-hour weekly show, has been picked up by CBS Radio\u2019s 10 classic hits stations, including WJMK FM 104.3.<\/a>\u00a0Starting October 18, it will air from 6 to 10 a.m Saturdays on K-Hits, according to program director Todd Cavanah.<\/p>\n

Each hour of the show will feature artist interviews, song countdowns, one-hit-wonders and commentary from Shannon, who said in a statement Thursday: \"I love the medium of radio \u2014 everybody knows that \u2014 and I'll grab any chance possible to play the greatest hits of all time and tell stories about the artists, and the songs and the era that they come from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shannon, 67, a 45-year radio veteran, will originate \u201cAmerica\u2019s Greatest Hits\u201d from WCBS FM in New York, where he hosts a top-rated morning show during the week.<\/p>\n

For seven years, Shannon was a ubiquitous presence on WLS FM 94.7,<\/a> where he launched his \u201cTrue Oldies Channel\u201d in 2005 and, for much of that time, doubled as program director and midday personality. When Cumulus Media switched to a classic hits format in 2012, Shannon\u2019s voice-tracked midday show was dropped from the station.<\/p>\n

Shannon still programs his True Oldies Channel at trueoldieschannel.com.<\/a> He\u2019s also heard as the announcer for Sean Hannity\u2019s syndicated radio talk show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
