| Magic Matt Alan |
Radio geeks might want to catch the upcoming Burt Reynolds
movie called “Category 5.”
It's got a NYC radio in-joke that turns out to be payback of
the most flattering kind, according to David Hinckley at NYDaily News.
“Magic” Matt Alan, who is now a deejay for Sirius XM radio’s
’70s on 7 channel and hosted afternoons at WHTZ (100.3 FM) in the 1980s, plays
what he calls an “in-your-face news anchor.”
The character, at Alan’s request, is named Michael Scott
Shannon.
Scott Shannon, of course, is the morning co-host on WPLJ 95.5 FM. In the ’80s, he was the Z100 morning co-host and program director
who hired Alan.
“I was in Houston ,
and I was just killing in the ratings. But when I got to Z100, Scott showed me
all these little things that made me better — about rhythm and pacing and just
how to make it all work together."
Alan lives in L.A.
now, and in addition to the Sirius XM gig, he also acts and does an Internet
talk/music show called Outlaw Radio.
