In 1990 he moved to Classic Rock KRXO, and exploded when he paired with "The Eggman" (Greg Moore) and later Ron Benton (named "Spinozi") by Shannon. Shannon did a short stint at The Sports Animal and KXXY before joining WLAC in Nashville as morning host for the 50,000 watt news/talk station. In 2003 he launched SuperTalk 930 WKY in Oklahoma City, where he remained until 2006, when the ownership took the station towards Mexican Regional Radio. He operates markshannon.com, one of the first blogs on the internet. Mark did standup comedy in the 80's, opening for such greats as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jerry Seinfeld, among some of the other better known club comedians of that period.

Port Highlights
Seward, Alaska Seward, founded in 1903, is named after the Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward, who endeavoured to purchase the land we know today as Alaska. Originally a small fishing village, it has become a fairly busy port due to its access to the state’s highway, something many Alaskan towns lack. Seward is the southernmost terminus for the Alaska Railroad, and is the closest port to Anchorage for those embarking cruise ships. Anchorage is located in South-central Alaska. To the east, the Chugach Mountains serve as the backdrop for the city’s magnificent skyline. To the west are the expansive, steel-coloured waters of Cook Inlet. The inlet is named after Captain James Cook, an explorer who sailed into the area in 1778.
Skagway, Alaska The era of the Klondike Gold Rush comes alive in Skagway, the gateway to the Yukon Territory. Through the opening of the White Pass & Yukon Railroad to Canada’s Yukon Territory, Skagway found its fame with the discovery of gold. The Gold Rush was such a boon that by 1898, Skagway was Alaska's largest town and home to a population of approximately 20,000. Hotels, saloons, dance halls and gambling prospered. However, when gold yields dwindled in 1900, so did Skagway’s population. Today, Skagway’s inhabitants number less than 1,000, yet the town retains the flavour of the Gold Rush era in its historic downtown area. In addition to its fascinating history, Skagway also offers visitors opportunities to explore its expansive natural beauty. Hiking trails along the Skagway River or a journey on the famous narrow-gauge White Pass and Yukon Line offer incredible panoramic vistas.
Juneau, Alaska Considered by many to be the nation’s most beautiful capital city, Juneau is famous for the unrivalled beauty of its spectacular mountains, glaciers, fjords, lakes, and wildlife. The town is nestled in the rain forest where the mountains meet the sea amidst the 17-million-acre Tongass National Forest, and a 1,500-square-mile ice field. Juneau’s terrain is hilly, and its winding, narrow streets are filled with character. This quaint yet sophisticated town is also rich in Native culture and gold-mining history. In 1880, prospectors Joe Juneau and Richard Harris, led by the Tlingit chief Kowee, beached their canoes along the Gastineau Channel at the mouth of Gold Creek. They staked out a 160-acre town site, and a Gold Rush boomtown was born.
Sitka, Alaska Sitka began as an important Tlingit Indian village called Shee At’ika, which translates roughly as ‘settlement on the outside of Shee’. Shee is the Tlingit name of Baranof Island. In 1799, Alexander Baranof of the Russian American Company, a Colonial trading company, decided to set up camp at what is now called Old Sitka, located 7.5 miles north of the present-day town. Baranof called the settlement Redoubt Saint Michael. The Tlingit Indians of the area resisted the occupation and, in 1802, burned the fort and massacred the Russian settlers while Baranof was away. Two years later, Baranof returned and besieged the Tlingits. The Tlingits withdrew, and left the Russians to build a new city on a different site. Baranof named this city New Archangel, or ‘Novoarkhangelsk’.
Ketchikan, Alaska The Tlingit Indians originally settled this area as a summer fishing camp, where five different species of salmon spawn every year. By the mid-1930s, Ketchikan had aptly named itself the ‘Salmon Capital of the World’. In 1936 alone, the city packed more than 1.5 million cases of salmon. Once a quintessential Alaskan logging and fishing town, Ketchikan was a workday place where visitors could wander the docks. But drastic declines in both the logging and fishing industries forced the city to change course, and today Ketchikan is a charming Alaskan tourist town catering to cruise ship guests. Ketchikan also boasts the world's largest collection of standing totem poles, and the nearby Misty Fjords National Monument.
Vancouver, Canada Vancouver is Canada’s third-largest city, and became part of the Canadian Confederation in 1871. Along the waterfront, visitors can see everything from the cobblestone streets of late-Victorian Gastown to shiny, post-modern cathedrals. In 1792, Captain George Vancouver explored Burrard Inlet during a coastal survey of what is now known as the Inside Passage. However, it was not until gold was discovered on the Fraser River in the 1860s that Vancouver actually became a town. At that time, the city was known as ‘Gastown’, named for saloonkeeper John ‘Gassy Jack’ Deighton, a talkative storyteller who opened Vancouver's first bar in 1867. A fire destroyed the settlement two months after it was incorporated.
