R. J. Adams - BS in The Morning

BS in The Morning

Following St. Louis, Shannon joined a couple of famous call letters including KJR Seattle, Washington, WIXY Cleveland, Ohio and KDKA before returning to KDWB Mpls/St.Paul as "BS" in the morning. It was here that he gained instant popularity by a myriad of stunts such as broadcasting live from the streets of the Twin cities while distributing cans of beans during the gas shortage of the mid 1970s which he promoted as a, "Natural Gas Substitute". His name recognition eventually brought him to the attention of KFI Los Angeles in 1975 where he enjoyed several successful years doing afternoons as "BS in Drive". In 1976 Shannon with the help of his vast audience as well as the national media media, succeeded in persuading NOA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to adopt male hurricane names in an effort to bring equal hurricane rights to men. Up until that time hurricanes had only been ames for women. His successful campaign brought about the Hurricane David. the name of Shannon's son. From KFI, he went on to KHJ (AM) and KLAC, Los Angeles before retiring from radio in the mid 1980s to devote all his attention to Film acting.

In 2000 following a 15 year absence from radio R.J. Adams returned to airwaves once again as Bob Shannon this time joining the air staff of KRTH 101 in Los Angeles...not to be confused with a radio personality of the same name who is midday host on New York City's most popular radio station, classic-hits WCBS-FM. In 2003 he ventured into talk radio as host of “Back Stage Live”, a Film and Television call in program specifically geared toward aspiring and professional actors on "Smart Talk" KRLA. Currently in production, Adams plays a serial killing priest in a dark suspense thriller.
