Bob has been a pop music radio dj since 1965 and has worked both as an announcer and programmer. For nearly 25 years he was one of the top-rated djs at the legendary WCBS-FM/101.1 in New York City, until its untimely demise in June of 2005. As the co-author (with John Javna) of the book Behind The Hits in the late 80s Bob established himself as a music historian. While at CBS-FM he introduced many specialty programs and features that tied in with the book. He also hosted nationally syndicated radio shows including The Oldies Countdown and Keepin The 70s Alive. Additionally, with fellow dj Bobby Jay, Bob Shannon was one of the original hosts for radio broadcasts from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. Bob maintains a flourishing website dedicated to the Behind The Hits concept. His spouse Connie T. Empress was a founder in the 80s of the Empire State Soul Club, the first club of its kind in the United States. She maintains a separate website at ESSC.us with Soul Club history, current events and soul show archives. Bob and Connie's on-air projects include Internet radio shows on RadioMaxMusic and on WLNG Radio in Long Island. Both were also heard on the VIP satellite channel in the UK. Most recently, Bob re-joined WCBS-FM radio in New York City when it returned after a two year absence.
