The Daily Buzz (abbreviated "theDBZ") was a nationally-syndicated breakfast television news and infotainment program. Owned and produced by Mojo Brands Media, the show originated every weekday morning from studios at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. In general contrast to its network counterparts, The Daily Buzz catered to a younger-skewing audience demographic, employing an informal atmosphere and a drive-time radio-style approach to lifestyle and entertainment topics.

Premiering on 10 stations (all owned by the show's founding owner, ACME Communications) on September 16, 2002, The Daily Buzz was carried on stations in 149 U.S. television markets at the time of its cancellation on April 17, 2015. The show originally aired for three hours, originally live from 6:00–9:00 a.m. (ET), with the show shortened to a two-hour time slot (5:00–7:00 a.m. ET) for its last years on air; start and running times varied by market (some stations aired only portions of the program). For most of its time on air, The CW Plus and its predecessor, The WB 100+ Station Group, carried the show in most smaller markets. The Daily Buzz was also featured on the schedules of the Youtoo TV and Soul of the South networks, streamed live-to-air on the program's website (TheDBZ.com), and uploaded daily to Hulu.

For the first two years of its existence, The Daily Buzz broadcast out of then-ACME-owned WBDT in Dayton, Ohio. The show moved to the Orlando area in August 2004, initially broadcasting from WKCF's Lake Mary studios. The move came as part of a deal in which Emmis Communications, which owned WKCF, acquired a 50% interest in the show as of January 1, 2004. In early 2007, WKCF moved to WESH's studios in Winter Park after WESH owners Hearst-Argyle Television acquired WKCF to create a duopoly in the Orlando market; soon afterward, Emmis sold its stake in The Daily Buzz back to ACME.
