Scott Shannon, Radio Show Host/Disc Jockey

For the past 20 years, Scott has co-hosted the wildly successful “Scott & Todd in the Morning Show” with his partner Todd Pettengill on 95.5 WPLJ.

From there, it was on to New York’s Z100, out to Los Angeles for Pirate Radio, and back to New York, where he joined WPLJ in 1991. “Scott & Todd in the Morning” enjoys one of the biggest audiences in the USA.
