It airs weekdays from "5:48 until 10-something" on WWDC-FM in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, WRXL in Richmond, Virginia and on WBWZ in the Hudson Valley of New York . The program was simulcast on WOSC in Ocean City, Maryland from 2003 to 2004 and on WCHH in Baltimore, Maryland from May 2008 to November 2009. Beginning in January 2014, the show was briefly simulcast on WOR-AM, while continuing to simulcast on the DC and Richmond stations, with the show originally planning to leave the DC101 studios in January 2014.〔http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/124976/wor-to-add-elliot-in-the-morning-plus-rush-hannity〕 However, after citing that "significant changes" would be needed for the show to succeed in NYC, it was announced that the show would no longer be carried on WOR-AM.〔http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/126922/no-more-elliot-in-the-morning-at-wor〕 The format covers a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from in-person or telephone interviews with well-known celebrities, to gross-out stunts involving much of the show's supporting cast. The show has regular telephone interviews with Patricia Murphy (from Politics Daily), Mark Steines (from Entertainment Tonight) during sweeps and Brandon Noble (former NFL player) during football season. As of 2005, ''Elliot in the Morning'' had been the cause of the fifth largest amount of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fines since 1970, with $302,500 worth of fines leveled at the show.〔(Largest FCC fines ) graphic from ''The Washington Post'', November 10, 2005〕 As a result, while the show still frequently involves euphemistic mentions of sexual topics, it is broadcast with a short tape delay, and is occasionally "dumped" to canned music for profanity. == Cast (The Class) == ;Elliot Segal: Lead personality. This shortish (5'6") 46-year-old is a native Canadian who was raised in Houston, Texas. He attended Houston Baptist University for one trimester, where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. His career in radio started at KKBQ in Houston, Texas as producer of John Lander's "Q-Morning Zoo" show. He also produced Scott Shannon's program on Pirate Radio in Los Angeles before working with Danny Bonaduce at WEGX in Philadelphia. By 1994, Elliot was a part of the "Morning Zoo" at Z100 in New York. Priding himself on toilet humor and gross-out jokes, he came to Washington in 1999, with his trademark maniacal laugh. He is married to wife Jacquie, and has two sons—the elder born in February 2004, and the younger born in August 2006. He also had an American Bulldog named Molson, whose name was likely a nod to his Canadian roots. Sadly, Molson had to be euthanized in early June 2007. In 2008, Elliot adopted a 150-lb Great Dane named Deuce. Elliot frequently uses catchphrases (each with its own colorful origins) such as "Rub the Phone against IT!", "Smell My Face!", and "Do What?". Superfan of Rush, Marilyn Manson, Nickelback, and Wayne Gretzky. ;Diane "Momma" Stupar-Hughes: Newswoman, diva, and original member.

Diane is a proud graduate of Radford University, located in southwestern Virginia. During a bit in 2003, she admitted that she lost her virginity on a ping pong table.

His 4th grade anti-drug song called "Everybody Say No" gained popularity amongst listeners and is featured on YouTube.
