Past winners of the “Bravery In Radio Award” include: Les Paul, Bruce Morrow, Howard Stern, Robin Quivers and NPR’s “Radio Lab”. This year’s “Bravery In Radio Award” will be presented to Elvis Duran. Professor Rob Quicke, GM of 88.7 FM, stated, “For his efforts in producing creative and exciting radio over the course of his career, the students of WPSC are delighted to recognize Elvis Duran with this year’s Bravery In Radio award. Elvis is a broadcaster who creates undeniably compelling morning radio that is unafraid to address serious topics and go to places that other shows will not go. Elvis is very much an authentic broadcaster who truly connects with his listeners.” WPSC will present the award live on the Z100 morning show on May 9 at 8:00 am. Dr. Quicke says that the students are looking forward to the experience: “The students are very excited to see with their own eyes how Elvis and his team create their compelling radio show.” Elvis Duran hosts the Top 40 Premiere Radio Networks’ “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show”. The show (branded Z 100) is broadcast from New York City but is syndicated to 75 markets including: Philadelphia, Miami, Cleveland, St. Louis and Austin to name a few.
