From Wikipedia:

He is the host of the daily morning radio program Elvis Duran and the Morning Show in New York on Z100 and in syndication on Premiere Radio Networks. Duran's show is now heard live in over 80 markets including New York City, Philadelphia, Miami, Cleveland, St. Louis, Fort Myers, Syracuse, Des Moines, Quad Cities, Madison, New Haven, and Richmond.

I'm a little surprised that someone on this board is asking this. I guess it makes sense since you don't own or listen to a straight ahead CHR Bill, but I'm still surprised that you don't know who Elvis Duran is. To answer your question he is not on in Seattle. The only NW markets I know of him being on in are Bend and Spokane.

More than that, the value lies in content creation for iHeart's digital platforms. Much of the investment in talent today is about having unique content that can be monetized online, not stuff that goes out via towers and transmitters.

Well, I was curious because he received a 50% increase and a new five-year contract, from a company that has stated it may not be around in a year. Since he's not on in this market, I'm no longer curious.

You may know this, but if a company goes bankrupt, the judge will rule all signed contracts null & void.
