Todd Pettengill Retiring
On February 7, 2014, Shannon made the announcement that he will be leaving WPL. After that, Todd launched his most recent endeavor, which is called The Todd Show in the Morning on WPLJ. Alongside Jayde Donovan from Sacramento’s KDND, Todd hosted the morning show “Todd & Jayde in the Morning” beginning in January of 2016 and continuing until 2019, when the radio station was sold and shut down.
Radio station WPLJ went off the air for the final time at the end of the month of May 2019, after having broadcast for over half a century. In a tweet, 95.5 FM, which plays adult contemporary music, revealed that the station’s last broadcast will take place on May 31, 2019. This statement came a little over two and a half months after Educational Media Foundation, a Christian radio broadcaster, had purchased the station, marking a shift in formats and call letters.
“The stories you’ve been hearing are real,” Todd, who is a co-host on the show that Jayde and I do and is likely the most popular host at the station, remarked to the audience. “Even though it’s hard to believe, WPLJ will officially cease broadcasting on the 31st of May, 2019. 95.5 will no longer broadcast in the format or with the personalities that you have grown to know over the course of so many years.” Following the announcement, Todd did not comment on his future course of action.
Where Is Todd Pettengill Going?
Back in the day, WWE In Your House events were never complete without Todd’s participation. Now, Pettengill is making a comeback for an old school advertisement.
As part of the effort to create a nostalgic atmosphere for the NXT TakeOver: In Your House event, Pettengill appeared in a promotional video from the past. They went so far as to apply a filter to the screen so that it would appear to be an older model of television.
Pettengill promoted the NXT TakeOver: In Your House card by employing some archaic language in a contemporary context. The scenario was a wrestling match. It was a real joy, in particular for those of us who are still young enough to recall the hype videos from the 1990s.
Since he left WWE, Pettengill has been keeping himself very busy, in case you were wondering about that. Along the process, he was involved in several initiatives and radio shows that he hosted regularly. His most recent employer was with the New York area radio station WPLJ 95.5.
Todd Pettengill WFLY “Fly 92
Todd launched his career in radio at a community radio station in Amsterdam, New York, when he was just 13 years old. In 1986, he was the host of the morning radio show called the Wake Up Service on the WFLY “Fly 92” station that served the Albany, New York area. It was the show in Albany’s annals that holds the record for highest ratings. After some time, Todd was given the position of program director at Albany Broadcasting Company, and subsequently he went on to become vice president of the company. After leaving the station, he started working at WIOQ in Philadelphia, and then he moved on to WPLJ in New York.
When Todd started co-hosting the morning show on WPLJ with Scott Shannon at the age of 25, he became the youngest person to ever broadcast a morning show in the history of New York radio. Todd is famous for his “phone scams” on the show. Dish Nation featured both Todd and Shannon at one point. Both Billboard Magazine and Radio & Records have honored Todd with the title of Major Market Air Personality of the Year on many occasions.

Sable was awarded the Slammy for “Miss Slammy” the next year, which was handed to her by Todd. His last appearance at a pay-per-view event took place at SummerSlam in 1997. The grind of balancing Todd’s WWF responsibilities with his radio career was proving to be too taxing for him, and he had notified WWF executives of his desire to step down from his position with the company.
