Midwest Communications has named Randy "Shotgun" Shannon as the new Brand Manager of WNCY (Y100) servving Appleton-Oshkosh, marking a return to the leadership role he first held when helping to build the station into a country powerhouse in Northeast Wisconsin.

Shannon, a fixture at Y100 for decades, originally guided the station's rise before moving on to morning shows in Denver and San Antonio. He rejoined Y100 in 2012 and, in 2017, teamed with Charli McKenzie for a successful run on the Y100 morning show. McKenzie recently relocated to Escanaba, MI, after 20 years at the station, while longtime Brand Manager Dan Stone retired following a 34-year career with Midwest Communications. Their departures opened the door for Shannon's return to leadership.

"WNCY has always been my baby," Shannon said. "I've been involved with the station since the beginning 30 years ago, and I'm excited to be at the helm of this legendary station again, and getting a chance to shape my own team!"

Jeff McCarthy, Vice President of Programming, added, "No one has more passion for the Y100 brand than Shotgun. A loyal leader and true talent, we are proud to have him guide WNCY to continued success."

Shannon will continue co-hosting the Y100 morning show while taking on Brand Manager responsibilities. He will also serve as Music Director until further notice. The station expects to announce Shannon's new morning show co-host soon.
