It's a special stuff on my WPLJ collection, The Todd Show magnet, received in 2014.
On
February 7, 2014, Scott Shannon announced his retirement from WPLJ
after 22 years. Co-host Todd Pettengill immediately took control of the
morning show, which re-branded as "The Todd Show" on February 24. Shannon is currently at WCBS-FM.
On January 5, 2015, "The Todd Show" was re-branded to "Todd & Jayde in the Morning" due to low ratings. Jayde Donovan, also known as Patricia Sweet, from Sacramento's KDND joined
Pettengill as a co-host.
Update about WPLJ:
On Friday, May 31, 2019.. 95.5 WPLJ -- one of the most transformative radio stations in the New York market over the last four decades -- will fade to black after 48 years on the air when it switches over to a contemporary Christian music station called K-LOVE following the frequency's sale by Cumulus Media.
WPLJ signed off commercial operations on May 31, 2019 at 7 p.m., with "Imagine" by John Lennon (the final song now-former sister station WABC ended their Top 40 format with in 1982), a live version of "W-P-L-J" by Hall & Oates, and a goodbye from current and former staffers. Shortly after 7 p.m.

More update:
Cumulus’ 95.5 WPLJ New York went out with a bang. In its final full monthly (counting for all but its final week on air), WPLJ rose from a 2.5 share in April to a 3.1 in May. Ratings expert Chris Huff notes that this was WPLJ’s best performance in two and a half years. WPLJ also held a three month trend of 2.3 – 3.3 – 3.8 in the embedded Middlesex/Somerset/Union NJ book.
Thank you WPLJ for the great memories.
