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.

History

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[1] now carrying the show after Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks began to offer the program nationally in March 2009.

Until May 2008 the show was known as "Elvis Duran and The (Y/Z) Morning Zoo". Slowly until July 2008 and the addition of more stations, the word "Zoo" was replaced with "Show" to make it more palatable to stations with other brandings or aversions to using the "Morning Zoo" term in their promotional advertising.

John Bell left the show on March 22, 2010, with Carolina Bermudez leaving on June 22, 2012 to join CBS-owned WLNY-TV in the New York area to launch their new morning program, Live from the Couch.

TJ Taormina left on February 21, 2013 to host the morning show at WODS/Boston, with Loren Raye joining him a month later.[2]

As part of a rearrangement of staff at four stations in iHeartMedia in Seattle, on January 19, 2016, it was announced that Carla Marie and "Worst Assistant" Anthony would be leaving the show on February 5, 2016, and starting their own morning show on Seattle's new Top 40/CHR station, Power 93.3FM.[3]
