Bill Shanks is a sports broadcaster and writer. Shanks hosts "The Bill Shanks Show" on WFSM Fox Sports 1670 in Macon. He is also a columnist for The Macon Telegraph. Shanks is a writer and the publisher of The Braves Show.com, which is apart of the scout.com network. His work there is also syndicated on FoxSports.com. He interviews Braves' players and minor leaguers and provides regular audio podcasts. In 2006 Shanks was one of the co-hosts of the Braves Wrap-Up Show on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network.
Shanks started his daily radio show in March of 2007 on WIFN 105.5 The Fan in Macon. The show was canceled due to Cumulus cutbacks on February 9, 2009[1]. Six weeks later, on March 23, 2009, Shanks' show was back on the air on the Clear Channel affiliate[2].
Shanks wrote a book called Scout's Honor: The Bravest Way to Build a Winning Team. It is both his answer to Moneyball and the story of how the Braves became the successful organization that they are today. From telling how John Schuerholz rose through the ranks to telling about the tales of individual Braves prospects, from Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, Adam LaRoche, John Smoltz, and Adam Wainwright.
He has provided Braves' reports on radio stations in Athens on WRFC, Brunswick, Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Mobile, Huntsville, Florence, Birmingham, and on WGST and WCNN in Atlanta.
