This is no phone scam, and you're not being blown off, Todd Pettengill is coming back.

The former WPLJ co-host next month launches a subscription-only web-based show, HeyTodd.com. New episodes of the show — which will have comedy bits, topical talk and new phone scams — will be available five days a week to subscribers.

"I wanted to give somebody something to listen to on their commute, and make sure it my sort of vision," Pettengill said. "Now, I don't have this guy in a suit saying, 'Well, we wouldn't do that.'"

We last heard from Pettengill in May, at the wake for 95.5 WPLJ, as the iconic New York station switched over to contemporary Christian format. Listeners took to the air, and to social media, to reflect on the station's — and Pettengill's — place in their lives.

"It’s the end of an era," he said at the time. "It's 48 years of history in New York City, and, you know, it's sad to see it end. But I had a hell of a ride.”

In classic Pettengill fashion, when he set the price for the new venture, the former co-host of “Todd and Jayde” (and, before that, “Scott & Todd in the Morning”) couldn’t resist tweaking his former station.

“I pulled the price out of nowhere,” he said, tongue planted firmly in cheek. “It's $9.55 — that’s nine five five a month.” He pointed out that it will cost less for those who subscribe for a year in advance.

The new show will launch on Sept. 5. That's 9/5.

“I’m not getting rich over it and people aren't going broke subscribing," he said. "Skip two Starbucks and you’ve got the month. It's just a way to be able to do a show again, five days a week.”

The show won’t be live, but Pettengill will use his social-media presence to get followers to call in — to 951-HEY-TODD — to be on the show that will be available the following day.

“The cool part of it is, if you get on the show, you can tell your kid, ‘Hey! Mommy's gonna be on the show tomorrow.’ It’s kind of a fun way to do it,” he said. Shows will be at least an hour long, “and probably two,” he said.

Pettengill's former PLJ crew — co-host Jayde Donovan, executive producer Joe (Monkey Boy) Pardavila and on-air talent Anne Marie Leamy — won’t be involved at the outset.

“Everybody’s got some things going, or in the works,” he said, but he plans to check in on them from time to time.

Donovan currently hosts the syndicated “Jayde Donovan Show” airing weekends nationwide. She also working on new podcasts launching in 2019 for Westwood One.

On "Todd & Jayde," one of the most popular segments was "Blown Off," in which listeners relived recent dates that they thought had gone well. When their dates were contacted, however, the other side of the story came out.

Pettengill said he's answering a need.

"Obviously there's a lot of radio stations in New York but on my social media people are still saying can't find anything to listen to," Pettengill said Monday. "Let's face it: Good, bad or indifferent, when they listened to me, it was almost 29 years and you become like family. I miss them, they miss me. It's kind of a cool way to bring it back."
