102.3 began its life as a classic country station called Kudzu. In 2008, Kudzu moved up the dial to 104.9 and 102.3 was reinvented as a Classic Hits station by then owners Scott and Joan Peters. When JC Media, LLC owners, Chris and Melinda Marsalis purchased the station in April of 2019, they tweaked the live stream just a bit from Classic Hits to Classic Hits-Rock. This set The Shark apart from other adult contemporary stations and gave it an edgier feel that our listeners love. The format is freshened by daily features, themed weekends, specialty programs & promotions and a world-class airstaff.

Shannon grew up in the 80’s, a child of hippies and music lovers. She was listening to the Beatles and Janis Joplin while her friends were listening to New Kids on the Block. It’s what her dad called her “Early Music Education.” She’s a sci-fi nerd who loves anything Star Trek/Star Wars/Doctor Who-ish. Shannon married her college sweetheart, Ted, and got two beautiful step-daughters from the marriage, and then added one from scratch. She’s a proud autism mom. Her daughter is the light of her life who continues to teach her how to be a better person on a daily basis. Oh, and sometimes she forgets to change out of her “house crocs” and wears them in public.
Marty has four loves in life: His three children, and racing! Put him in a go-kart and he’s a happy boy. Put him in the stands with a Coors Light, and he’s in heaven. Marty loves watching sports and knows heartbreak as a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan. He’s done everything from club DJ to late night disc jockey in his 30-year career. The past sixteen years working with Shannon have obviously been his best in the business (Shannon *may* be writing this bio). And according to Marty pineapple does not belong on pizza.

Bryan first hit the air just as Disco Music and 8-Tracks were starting to die off. In his career, he’s locked himself out of a live studio, ridden in a Chevy Chevette with George McGovern, and destroyed his hearing at SO MANY up close concerts--including AC/DC, The Kinks, The Stones, The Who, Tom Petty, Aerosmith, and The Moody Blues.

He once asked Gene Simmons a stupid question backstage and paid the price. Classic Rock, classic car shows, and swap meets are what Bryan enjoys in his off time. Bryan has done a little bit of everything in radio. He loves it, and is quick to say “It sure beats working for living!” Also odd, but true, Bryan was once mistaken for a wax figure at Madame Tussaud's in London.

Laura entered the radio scene on a whim in 1998. She planned a different career path with her bachelor's in Interpersonal Communications, but the radio bug bit! A loud and proud Sagittarius, Laura likes anything with peanut butter, is an avid dog lover, and quite a good cook! She grew up watching classic cooking shows and MTV, a winning combination for her current lifestyle. She taught herself how to crochet amigurumi, and you might find “fun Aunt Laura” making a dinosaur for a friend's kid. Laura loves all classic music genres, and as a Pink Floyd fan, her prized possession is an autographed copy of The Final Cut on vinyl. She's banking on that for her retirement fund
Carl grew up with plenty of street & strip drag racing, stock car racing, and playing musical instruments and having a good time.
