Classix 107.9 WPPZ-FM in Philadelphia, an Urban One station announces Shaila Scott as On-Air Midday Personality. Referred by many as “Radio Royalty,” Shaila has a career in Radio Broadcasting spanning over 30 years.
She began her professional career in broadcasting during her junior year at The State University College at Buffalo, where she pledged Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and graduated with a B.A. in Broadcasting. Her 30 years in the Radio industry have featured her voice on various commercials while working with the William Morris & SEM&M Agency.
She has won the hearts of many as the first hostess of “Kissing After Dark,” co-host of the “The Kiss Wake Up Club,” and often held the #1 ratings position in the midday for decades until she departed from WBLS (New York) in 2022. Currently, she can be heard rocking “The BLOCK” on 94.7 in New York and now in the midday 9am to 2pm on Classix 107.9 in Philadelphia.
“Joining Urban One is a dream come true!” Says Shaila. “I am excited to blend my love for music with the rich culture of Philly and connect with the community on such an iconic platform. The opportunity to be a voice in the City of Brotherly Love is quite an honor!”

We are excited to work with her and have her join the Radio One Philadelphia team”.
Divine adds, “Classix 107.9 has consistently reigned as the Sound of Philadelphia, and adding her expertise, professionalism, and infectious energy will take us to the next level. We are excited to introduce ‘Middays with Shaila’.”
“We are so excited to have Shaila Scott join the Classix Philly Team!” states Ezio Torres, VP and General Manager of Radio One Philadelphia. “I know so many of her previous coworkers from WRKS-FM (Kiss) and WBLS-FM and have admired her from a few steps removed.
