Pass this station right by
Before I bashed the NY area radio station(s) that I hate listening to in the morning, I decided to give my least favorite group of radio personalities one last chance to show me that their show has some redeeming quality. I tuned in today during my drive. I turned to a different station about 38 seconds later.So who are they? None other than Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo on Z-100 in New York (and, unfortunately for Southern Florida, on Y-100.7 in Miami). And why do I dislike them so much? Well here are a few reasons.
First, they DO NOT broadcast from the "top of the Empire State Building" (aside from maybe having a transmitter there). Their studios are in the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Be proud you're from Jersey, don't diss it.
Second, Elvis Duran is a 40-something year old man who somehow thinks he's still in his 20s. Elvis, sweetie, you're not, ok? The "comedy" bits that he puts on the show really border on the ridiculous. Greg T eating dog food? Greg T and Skeery Jones sharing a spagetti-eating kiss? Come on, Elvis! I used to like you when you were on in the afternoons and Z-100's format was more alternative than its now 13-year old girl music. But the ridiculous antics (although I acknowledge a lot of people in the NY area must like them given the ratings) I just can't handle.
Third, the supporting cast is more annoying than anyone on radio. Hell, I'd listen to David Lee Roth -- or even Wake Up With Woopie -- instead of these people. For example, the previously mentioned Greg T "the frat boy." What are you, Greg, like 30 now? You're not a "frat boy" anymore, buddy. Cut the stupid "frat boy" stunts down to a minimum. Skeery Jones, same goes for you. I just can't listen to Danielle Monaro -- she has a voice that is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Carolina Bermudez just seems to be a useless piece of this program. And her attempts at "phone taps" (themselves not really all that interesting) are pitiful. Girl, you're not an actress. Froggy -- um, nothing bothers me more than stupid fake radio names. I don't really have anything bad to say about John Bell, except that I question his judgment for working with this group. And finally, Garrett (pictured above). You're Monkey Boy's competition for cutest guy in NY morning radio.
I've said my peace.

Your assessment of this show, shows you as a a grumpy old Queen with no sense of humor and no real ability to judge radio shows. You are commenting on people who speak to a much more in touch audience in NY and Miami and do not play music for 13 year old girls. It is music for 12-35 year old women. You obviously know even less about woman then you do of radio shows. The show is great, well thought out, informative and often touching. Elvis is well aware of his age and Carolina adds so much more to the show than you describe. She is young, fun and yet still grounded in family and hopelessly romantic. You don't like the Phone Taps so how would you know a good one from a bad one?
As for Greg T, you are a geek. Most listeners don't care about teh age of the performer. Maybe you should tell the Rolling Stones to stop being the biggest tour every year. Surely they are too old to be Rockers.
As for where we broadcast from, they say they broadcast FROM the Empire State Building and technically they do. Again, nobody buy you really cares. Sports teams often take the name of their nearest city as well. And by the way, Z100 hasn't been in the Meadowlands since 1999, but hey, you're the freakin expert on everything aren't you? What a self absorbed dolt you are.

I agree with the last comment. I have bene listening to the Zoo for years. You are so off base. Froggy got his nickname because his voice sounds Froggish. Makes sense. Nobody cares about the stupid nitpicking in your blog. Loosen up your panties.You come off sounding like an old man and a childish priss at the same time!

Another person who thinks this prat is wrong.
Z100 is one the best station, I listen to it when I can everyday In the United Kingdom.
Making personal jibes is just sad and pathetic, I would like to know what radio station you listen to and maybe I can slag of some of your DJ's you so fond off.
I bet your some middle old git who has nothing better to do that slag of DJ's. Get a life.

I guess these three anonymous commenters told me, huh?
Just a few thoughts:
1) Comparing Greg T to the Rolling Stones is like Dan Quayle comparing himself to John F. Kennedy. If you know what I'm talking about, you're too old to listen to Z100.
2) They do not broadcast FROM the Empire State Building. Their signal is transmitted FROM the ESB. They broadcast from New Jersey and have done so for more than 10 years.
3) How my post shows that I am a "grumpy old Queen" and a "self absorbed dolt" is beyond me. But name calling is always a good argument.
4) Who wants to bet that all three anonymous comments came from the same poster at Z100 (hi Greg T!)

Perhaps checking the IP addresses point dexter, I posted(only) the third comment, so that's your theroy out of the window xD
Plus you claim "They do not broadcast FROM the Empire State Building".
Then how would you explain the Z Morning pictures, where their are tons of them with celebs at Z100.com (keyword: Elvis) and Greg T announcing the weather every single morning (Mon-Fri 5AM) that's 10AM GMT..."from the top of the empire state bulding it's 48F....."
You still didn't answer my question, what radio station do you listen to? :) I await your reply.

I'm not a big fan of radio to begin with but z100 takes the cake for the worst station I've ever had to listen to. It's a wonderful place for the simple minded to be entertained by complete nonsense. Have a listen and you will feel your brain start shrinking. It's time to stop promoting trash like this. Podcasts are where it's at now. There's a podcast for just about everything. Stimulate your mind stop rotting it out with crap like z100.
