Talent: TOM
SHANNON
Station: WKBW
Buffalo, N.Y.
Date: July

Time: 57:58
(Pt. 3 - unscoped)
From New York to L.A. was a big hit for Patsy Gallant in the 1970s. But Tom Shannon's theme song might be entitled From Buffalo to Detroit.
Shannon shuffled between Buffalo and Detroit throughout much of his radio career, with a few stops in other locales. His Buffalo addresses have included WKBW twice), WGR (twice) and Oldies 104 (WHTT-FM). He has appeared in Windsor-Detroit on CKLW (also twice) along with several other Motor City stations.
In 1961,
Shannon was at WKBW in
the 6-9 p.m. spot, but on this aircheck he's filling in for Russ
Syracuse in the 9-noon shift.
Enjoy Tom
Shannon on WKBW from
July 25, 1961, Pt. 3 (UNSCOPED) here.
