Scott Shannon – Last Show on KQLZ “Pirate Radio” Los Angeles | February 13, 1991

Nov 04, 2006 2 Comments

And now, ladies and gentlemen, courtesy of our ole buddy Matt at Big Apple Airchecks, since we’re on the subject of change (the only constant in radio), the final show for master programmer Scott Shannon at L.A.’s Pirate Radio!

“At Pirate Radio, our ratings are so low, it really doesn’t matter what we do. BITE ME!” That’s how this clip starts out, and sets the tone for the whole 14 minute aircheck. 1991. A time before corporate mergers and bottom line mentality trumped creativity. If you’re going to go, go out in STYLE!

    I was lucky enough to work nights at a station where I could roll tape from the satellite…and I have tons of the Pirate on tape. I only wish I could have heard Shadow Steele’s last show, but I have plenty of tape from the beginning to the end of the Shannon days, as well as some from their AOR days, and one lone tape from their days as simply “100.3″…just an amazing station, the likes of which hasn’t happened before, or since. I still have the t-shirt and the hat too! Great stuff!

      Amen brother. I also worked at a CHR that had a WW1 feed of pirate. Looking back I wish I’d purchased a vhs hifi vcr to grab some scopped checks.
