''Preston & Steve'' show is a morning radio, comedy and variety broadcast on Philadelphia Active Rock station 93.3 FM WMMR featuring DJs Preston Elliot and Steve Morrison. The show, which originated at Y100 in Philadelphia, features daily telephone interviews, in-studio guests, celebrity impersonations, unusual news stories, and numerous sound clips and running gags. It broadcasts live on the radio as well as streaming audio via the station website from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EST, Monday through Friday, and is a featured podcast in the comedy section of the iTunes Store. == History == Preston Elliot, Steve Morrison and Marilyn Russell were among a group of radio personalities introduced to the Philadelphia market through the now defunct radio station WDRE. With several of their WDRE co-workers, they departed the station for Y100 in 1997 when WDRE changed format.〔 After four successful years of (then known as) ''The Y100 Morning Show with Preston, Marilyn, and Steve'', Marilyn Russell left the morning show on March 1, 2002 for family reasons. She has worked part-time on many stations in the Philadelphia area since then, including WMGK, and SoJo 104.9, WYSP, and joined morning personality Dave Cruise as co-host on "The BENFM Morning Show on 95.7 in 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greatermedia.com/newsletters/fall_2007.pdf )〕 WPLY's owner, Dan Lerner, one of the last independent owners in the Philadelphia market, sold the station to Radio One, a national broadcasting corporation, in 2001. Coincidentally, Radio One was the same group that bought Preston, Marilyn & Steve's previous radio station 103.9 WDRE. Radio One and hosts Elliot and Morrison did not successfully negotiate a new contract, and the personalities agreed to a deal with local broadcasting group Greater Media. The hosts' contract with Radio One expired on February 24, 2005 and Y100 changed format and became WPHI "The Beat" at 11:50 p.m. EDT that same day. A legal battle between Radio One and the Elliot and Morrison team over the hosts' non-compete clause was resolved by a ruling that they were no longer in competition with WPLY. Their new show officially debuted on the air on Monday, May 23, 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greatermedia.com/newsletters/Grapevine_Summer_2005.pdf )〕 In 2006, Elliot and Morrison received a long-term contract extension〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.greatermedia.com/press/detail.php?ID=118 )〕 and in 2008, the station gave them a new studio with their own production equipment. They signed another multi-year deal in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=2268352 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Preston & Steve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
