WV Broadcasting Hall of Fame Disc Jockey and Local Legend Bill Shahan has passed away peacefully on August 25th, 2016 after a long battle with esophageal cancer.
Bill Shahan thrived along the airwaves since the 1980's – an ever-present and vivacious personality who over the years made our mornings brighter across the dial at V100, Electric 102.7, 98.7 The Beat, and 96.1 The Wolf. He worked in various roles as Disc Jockey, Presenter, Sales and Program Director.
An energetic and tireless presence, Bill was always willing to gig for a wedding and was still able to donate his time and efforts to charities like The March of Dimes and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

He is preceded in death by his father, Fred Shahan; and his brothers Stephen and Michael.

Lewis; twin, Bob (Kellie) Shahan; sister-in-laws, Sherry Shahan and Teresa Turano; brother- in- law, Thomas Boggess; mother-in-law, Carolyn Boggess, Aunt Karen and Uncle Mike Cash; nieces, Mindy Tringone, Samantha Shahan, and Jade Shahan; step sisters, Margaret and Patti; step-brothers, David, Brian and Mike; his extended family, and also hundreds of friends and thousands of fans across the greater Charleston area.
