Shannon Brand Manager — Again — At WNCY
• UPDATED: Midwest Communications’ Country WNCY (Y100)/Appleton-Green Bay, WI keeps it firmly in the family and promotes morning personality Randy “Shotgun” Shannon to Brand Manager/MD. Shannon succeeds former Y100 Brand Manager Dan Stone, who on Oct. 23 wrapped up a remarkable 54-year broadcasting career — the last 34 with Midwest — and relocated to Michigan’s scenic Upper Peninsula.
The Y100 MD position was most recently held by another longtime WNCY veteran — 20-year morning co-host Charli McKenzie, who left this summer to move closer to family — also in Michigan’s U.P.
The Y100 PD chair is a familiar seat for Shannon, who originally held the role from 1996-2006 before moving to Denver, where he co-hosted mornings on CBS Radio’s KWLI (92.5 The Wolf), and later, programmed the rebranded KWOF (The Wolf) under new owner Wilks. After a year-long stint in mornings on CMG’s KCYY (Y100)/San Antonio, Shannon returned to Y100 in 2012 and has been doing mornings since 2017.
“WNCY has always been my baby,” Shannon said. “I’ve been involved with the station since the beginning 30 years ago and I’m excited to be at the helm of this legendary station again, and getting a chance to shape my own team!”
Midwest VP of Programming, Jeff McCarthy said, “No one has more passion for the Y100 brand than Shotgun. A loyal leader and true talent, we are proud to have him guide WNCY to continued success.”
An announcement will be coming soon introducing Shotgun’s new morning show co-host. Stay tuned. In the meantime, he can be congratulated at randy.shannon@mwcradio.com.
