Michael Scott Shannon (born July 25, 1947)[1] is an American radio disc jockey currently best known as the announcer of The Sean Hannity Show.

He also hosted the morning show for WCBS-FM in New York City from 2014 to 2022 as well as Scott Shannon Presents America's Greatest Hits[2] which is syndicated nationally with United Stations Radio Networks and Audacy.

After leaving the Army, Shannon worked full-time in radio at WABB in Mobile, Alabama, where he acquired the name Super Shan.

[3] After a brief stint at WMPS in Memphis, he moved to Nashville, where he was the evening disc jockey at WMAK (1300 AM), later becoming that station's program director.

Calling themselves "Wildfire", they scored a number-49 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 remaking a 1959 Jerry Keller song titled "Here Comes Summer".

Scott returned to radio in Washington, D.C., as program director of WPGC-FM, taking that station to the number-one spot in the Arbitron ratings.

Then, in Tampa, Florida, Scott, along with partner Cleveland Wheeler, developed the morning zoo radio format while at WRBQ-FM, a station known as "Q105".

He was also primarily responsible for the renaissance of the musical career of vocalist Charlene, whose song "I've Never Been to Me" he revived by his programming of the long-dormant track.

Shannon is particularly known within the broadcasting industry for his work creating the "morning zoo" concept which debuted in Tampa in the early 1980s on WRBQ.

[4] He was the driving force in helping Z100 become the top-rated FM station in New York City within a mere 74 days of signing on the air.

This rapidly proved a popular show with its own countdown chart style and comic character element, known as "Mr. Leonard" (John Rio).

He went on to start a new show named Scott Shannon's Battle of the Hits, produced by Cutler Productions and aired over the July 4th weekend in 1992.

[20] When it was first imported to the UK it was supported by Coca-Cola, although it was taken by fewer ILR stations than the UK-produced US chart show fronted by Paul Gambaccini and sponsored by Pepsi.

Worst to First: The True Story of Z100 was directed by Mitchell Stuart and features interviews with Shannon, Z100 staff, other radio personalities, and recording artists including Tony Orlando, Madonna, and Debbie Gibson.
