Although he never worked at WKNR, Tom Shannon's impact on Detroit radio was far-reaching. He is best remembered for his work at CKLW and for TV hosting duties on WXYZ and WDIV.

When the editorial page of your paper lauds a jock's work, he's made an indelible mark. Listen to this coming weekend's Keener Podcast for some vintage Tom Shannon during his time at the Big 8.
