He was overseeing top 40 station Q99.7, alternative rock station 99X and New Country 101.5, since April of 2015.

The radio veteran helped keep Q99.7 a top performer for Cumulus Atlanta in recent years while turning what had been Rock 100.5 back to classic alternative station 99X late last year. He also transitioned what had been country station Kicks 101.5 to a rebranded New Country 101.5 in 2019 and paired newcomer JJ Kincaid with long-time Kicks host Dallas McCade into a successful morning show.

Shannon, a 33-year radio veteran, was formerly Vice President/Market Manager for Entercom Sacramento. Prior to that, he served as Director of Sales for Entercom Seattle. Shannon has also held positions with iHeart Media/Clear Channel and Fisher Broadcasting.
