Michael Scott Shannon (born July 25, 1947) is a radio disc jockey presently hosting the morning show for WCBS-FM in New York City.and host Americas Greatest Hits syndicated nationally with United Stations and CBS. He has also worked for WHTZ, WPLJ, The True Oldies Channel, and The Sean Hannity Show.

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Scott Shannon grew up an Army brat in Indianapolis, Indiana. He began his radio career during his own Army stint at WFBS/1450 AM in Spring Lake, North Carolina (later WFBX). From there he moved to WCLS/1580 AM in Columbus, Georgia. After leaving the army, Shannon worked full-time in radio at WABB in Mobile, Alabama, where he acquired the name Super Shan. After a brief stint at WMPS in Memphis he moved to Nashville, where he was the evening disc jockey at WMAK/1300 AM, later becoming that station's program director. While at WMAK, interactions and an interview between Shannon and Neil Young were recorded for Young's film Journey Through the Past.

Shannon left Nashville to take a job as a record promoter with Casablanca Records, and while there in 1977 recorded an album with Jack (Stack-A-Track) Grochmal. Calling themselves "Wildfire," they scored a #49 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 remaking a Jerry Keller song from 1959 called "Here Comes Summer." Scott returned to radio in Washington, D.C. as program director of WPGC-FM, taking that station to the #1 spot in the Arbitron ratings. From there he moved to WQXI in Atlanta. Then, in Tampa, Florida, Scott, along with partner Cleveland Wheeler, developed the morning zoo radio format while at WRBQ-FM, known as Q105. Again, he shone in the ratings, this time making his station one of the most listened to in the United States. He was also primarily responsible for the renaissance of the musical career of vocalist Charlene, whose song "I've Never Been to Me" he revived by his programming of the long-dormant track.
