Morning mainstay Elvis Duran of Z100

Radio Dial

It's risky to talk about the great station lineups on New York radio, the ones that for many listeners define some era, because radio is so personal you always leave out someone's favorite.

Almost everyone would agree, for instance, on WABC and WMCA of the late '60s, Scott Shannon's original Z100 of the mid-'80s, WCBS-FM of the '90s, the first WKTU, the early hip-hop Hot-97 and Frankie Crocker's first WBLS. Couldn't omit the early WNEW-FM, and certainly not the WNEW-AM of William B. Williams.

But others are equally worthy, and while time must pass to confirm a lineup's durability, it seems likely that a few years from now, many of today's teens will say the same thing about the current WHTZ (Z100, 100.3 FM).

I've always been a huge Elvis Duran fan...
I don't really get to hear Z the rest of the day. Does the rest of the day hold true to David Hinkley's comment?
I'd be curious to see what people think

Z is a good station, I just wonder how many of the people listening actually are in tune to what's going on there. I think alot of the next generation of radio listeners are growing up in a jockless culture of radio.

It's even more impressive from the inside.

I don't get to listen much to Elvis -- I'm kinda on opposite him these days, .2 mHz down the dial -- but the one time I was there in the studio with him, for Z-100's 15th anniversary, I was really knocked out by the way in which he was able to seamlessly weave together all the elements, blending all the old Zoo stuff with his own benchmarks. It was a hell of a performance.

If that's the kind of stuff he orchestrates every day, then he's earned the title.
