Elvis Duran
Founder, Partner
More than eight million weekly listeners consider Elvis Duran the host of the party on his national radio program, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, the most listened to Top 40 morning show in the United States. Ranked #1 across multiple demographics and top markets, Elvis and his talented on-air crew broadcast live from New York’s hit station, Z100 and entertain listeners with up-to-the-minute pop culture news, celebrity guests, world premiere music exclusives and regular fan favorites like the gossip-filled “Entertainment Report,” the breaking news-packed “Headlines,” and the ever-popular prank call skit “Phone Taps.”
Spanning over 30 years, Elvis’ radio career has included various hosting gigs and program director duties at Philadelphia’s WIOQ and Austin’s KBTS, as well as stints at Z-93 in Atlanta and KRBE in Houston. In April 1996, he launched his now world-famous Z100 radio show in New York, resulting in a national deal in March 2009 with the country’s leading radio syndication company, Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartRadio. His popularity and success continued to grow, which lead to Elvis signing an unprecedented long-term deal with the company in April 2017. His role was expanded to include developing talent and programming and serving as a spokesperson for the global, billion-dollar company.
Throughout his career, Elvis has received numerous accolades from the radio industry and beyond. He has been honored as “Personality of the Year” by the Radio Music Awards, “Best Morning Show” by New York’s Annual Achievement in Radio Awards, “Best Personality” by Radio & Records, “Best Major Market Top 40 Air Personality” by Billboard/Airplay Monitor, and “Broadcaster of the Year” by the New York State Broadcasters Association. Having earned the industry’s respect and admiration, Elvis was inducted into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame in 2015 and the National Association of Broadcasters’ National Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2018.
