Detroit Radio: WCSX Moves Scott Randall To Mornings


Screamin’ Scott Randall has moved from afternoons to mornings at WCSX Detroit (94.7), taking over the station’s morning drive slot.

He succeeds “Big Jim” O’Brien, who departed the timeslot last week after more than a decade with Beasley Media Group’s classic rock station.Randall, a Detroit rock radio veteran of more than 30 years, is best known for 25 years at sister station WRIF (101.1), primarily in evenings. 

He joined WCSX in afternoons in January 2023, succeeding Dave Dahmer.Station Program Director Jade Springart praised the move: “Screamin’ Scott has long been one of the most recognizable and entertaining voices on WCSX. His passion for the Motor City, knowledge of classic rock, and genuine connection with listeners make him a perfect fit for mornings. Scott brings energy, authenticity, and a whole lot of fun to everything he does.”

Recently appointed VP/Market Manager Matt Scarano added: “Screamin’ Scott understands the DNA of Detroit rock radio better than almost anyone. He’s authentic, highly entertaining, and has built a tremendous bond with listeners over the years.”

This marks Randall’s second stint in morning drive in Detroit. He previously hosted mornings at Allur Broadcasting’s WDZR “Z-Rock” from 1993 to 1996. Earlier in his career, he worked at stations in Fort Wayne/Decatur, Indiana.

“I’ve loved every minute of being part of the WCSX family, and I’m incredibly excited to take on this new opportunity,” Randall said. “Detroit listeners are the best in the world! Getting the chance to start their mornings with great music, laughs, and conversation is truly an honor.”
