Elvis Duran and the Morning Show (formerly known as The Z Morning Zoo) is an American syndicated weekday morning radio program hosted by Elvis Duran. The show originates from the studios of Newark-licensed WHTZ in New York City, a Top 40 outlet branded as "Z100". The show is also syndicated through Premiere Radio Networks in over 75 markets such as Philadelphia, Miami, Cleveland and Richmond, Virginia. The live airing of the show is weekdays from 6 am to 10 am Eastern time, with most Central markets airing it live from 5 am to 9 am, and other time zones further west taking the show on delay. A "best of the week" compilation show is also carried on Saturday mornings by most stations.
While it was not created at WHTZ, the popular morning zoo format became a widely employed morning show concept based on its success at Z100 - even to the point of being implemented at WHTZ's sister station in Cleveland, rock-formatted WMMS. Essentially, the Morning Zoo formula was grafted onto their already successful morning show, and lasted until 1994.
The regular segments of the program include the gossip-heavy "Entertainment Report", "Phone Taps", stunts performed by Greg T "The Round Headed Frat Boy", song parodies, and various contests. Local windows are made available for news briefs and weather and traffic reports.
The show began to be syndicated to other Clear Channel stations on May 22, 2006, starting with WHYI-FM/Miami, then WIOQ/Philadelphia on July 22, 2008, and WAKS/Cleveland on August 25, 2008, with approximately 70 stations now carrying the show after Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks began to offer the program nationally in March 2009.
