On 12/1, CBS Sunday Morning ran journalist Mo Rocca’s feature story on Elvis Duran, bringing viewers in-studio at Z100, Duran’s home in Santa Fe and behind the scenes at Jingle Ball at Madison Square Gardens.
“[Duran] a rarity these days, a nationally known radio personality,” says Rocca.
“Radio isn't what radio used to be. A lot of radio companies gave up on personalities; they just wanted to play music, it's cheaper. That's not good for our business. So, I've done everything I can to keep personality on a radio show in the mornings... we are in the friendship business,” added Duran, who hosts Elvis Duran and the Morning Show—the most listened to Top 40 morning show in the U.S.—on NY’s Z100 every weekday from 6-10am.
When asked about his legacy, Duran states, “I don’t want them to remember my name, I just want them to remember how we made them feel every day. That’s it.”
