I certainly don't have to have to introduce Bob Shannon to my radio enthusiast friends. For others you can check his bio at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Shannon_%28WCBS-FM%29 . To make a long story short he has been with WCBS-FM since the mid 1980s except for the 2 years that the dreaded Jack-FM was heard on 101.1 FM in New York. During that period he was active on New York radio message boards. He initiated and moderated a board titled Behind the Hits where avid oldies enthusiasts talked about their favorite songs and artists. Today Bob announced that he is stepping down as board moderator. I must assume that his reasons are personal. I do not start rumors on my journal. I do thank Bob for the time and effort he spent moderating that board and wish him well in his future endeavors as a radio personality. My fondest memory of Bob was that Lee's birth was announced on his show in 1988.
