Bob Shannon at the CBS Radio Expo at Yankee Stadium in June 2010
Bob Shannon was last heard on WCBS-FM in December 2011. For several months Ron Parker or Joe Causi filled in for him on his 10 AM - 3 PM shift. At time he also appeared once a week on WLNG from Eastern Long Island. It was said on the New York Radio Message Board and other places that Bob had health issues. In July 2012 it was unofficially reported that he left the station. WCBS-FM did not say anything over the air or on their web site about Bob.
I wish him all the best on his 66th birthday and respect his privacy. He was very active in protesting the hijacking of WCBS-FM in June 2005. He really appreciated his listeners during his radio broadcasting career. I fondly remember his announcing my son Lee's birth on his show in March 1988.
