The National Association of Broadcasters announced that the 2011 NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner & Show will be hosted by nationally syndicated radio host Elvis Duran. The event will take place September 15 at the 2011 Radio Show at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, Illinois.
"Elvis is the ’host of the party’ on his national radio show" said NAB Executive Vice President of Radio John David. "We couldn’t be more thrilled to have him host the Marconis - one of Radio’s biggest parties of the year".
Elvis Duran’s national radio show, syndicated on Premiere Networks, is the most listened to Top 40 morning show in the U.S. and consistently ranks number one across multiple demographics and top markets. Broadcasting live from New York’s Z100, Duran and his on-air crew entertain listeners with up-to-the-minute entertainment and pop culture news, celebrity guests, hit songs, and regular features such as the gossipy "The Sleaze" the fashion-forward "Rage Page" and the ever-popular prank "Phone Taps".
Duran’s radio career has spanned 30 years and has included both host and program director duties at Philadelphia’s WIOQ and Austin’s KBTS, as well as stints at Z-93 in Atlanta and KRBE Houston. He began hosting his daily radio show on New York’s Z100 in April 1996. Since then, the show has enjoyed much success resulting in a national deal in March 2009 with the country’s leading radio syndication company, Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel. In only a year, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show added more than 30 stations.
