100.WHTZ, also known as Z100, is a radio station that serves New York City and the neighboring Northern New Jersey region, broadcasting on the FM band at a frequency of 100.WMGM, which played easy listening music.The "Easy Listening" music format (also known as Beautiful Music or, more commonly, "elevator music") consisted of playing instrumental versions of familiar songs.In addition, new management announced plans for a top 40 format.FM would end broadcasts on 100.Scott Shannon, and the first song ever played on the station was "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.They did not begin calling themselves "Z100" until a few days later.Z100 was the second station that summer to attempt to bring the Top 40 format back to New York, with rock station WPLJ having begun the evolution to top 40 in June.Over the years, Z100 stayed with a top 40 format, with WPLJ behind them in the ratings.Scott Shannon would leave Z100 at the end of 1988 to begin "Pirate Radio" in Los Angeles, and Steve Kingston took over as program director.By 1991, however, the Top 40 format was in an identity crisis.Z100 would respond to this by adding some older songs and introducing an evening talk show called "Love Phones".Ratings gradually dropped from 1991 to 1993.In 1993, Z100 dropped the older songs and began mixing in alternative rock music which wasn't normally being played on Top 40 stations.The station would still play the current big hits by artists such as Madonna, TLC, Mariah Carey, and others.At this point Z100 was sold to Shamrock Broadcasting.March 1996, there was a steep drop after WKTU signed on 103.FM with a dance music format, and WXRK adapted a full alternative rock format.Both stations would end up taking listeners from Z100.Rock, while music director Andy Shane would leave for WKTU, joining another former Z100 music director, Frankie Blue.Airstaff had also gradually begun leaving the station beginning that February.Z100 had even stopped using the name "Morning Zoo" the year before.Morning host John Lander left in November 1995.Z100 was undergoing a crisis at this point.The station was sold in a corporate deal to Chancellor Media.One of Poleman's biggest moves was to switch DJ Elvis Duran from afternoons to the "Z Morning Zoo" (which was known as "The Morning Show" for the previous several years), Z100's popular morning show.Despite having shared the post with other hosts (such as Elliot Segal, now at WWDC) through the years, Duran remains the "Head Zookeeper" to this day.Top 40 station again, and its ratings reached the heights at which they still remain today.Chancellor merged with Evergreen in 1997, making WKTU a sister station of Z100.Still, both stations continued on the same courses, occasionally overlapping with music.Studio Cam towards the window so listeners could get a up to the minute view of what was happening at Ground Zero.DJ who creates a nightly remix of the day's top songs, playing them all together, mixing, for instance, the lyrics of one with the music of another.Spinbad's remix is also a part of the weekly 5 O'Clock Whistle, a tradition started in 1986 to celebrate the end of the work week.In early 2006, Z100 launched an HD Radio station that plays songs by bands who have not gone mainstream, or have very little exposure.New York City, scoring a 5.Headed Frat Boy," Skeery Jones, David Brody, TJ, Garrett and Scotty B.They have been on WHCY in New Jersey since Early 2003."Z100's Jingle Ball" at Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan during the winter holiday season, and "Z100's Zootopia" in the early summer.Z100 aired the "24 Hours Of Christmas" from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day.Sometimes it would begin at Noon, and other years it would be as late as 2pm.Christmas music at the time.The music consisted of Christmas songs done by core artists mixed with well known Christmas music by oldies artists and some traditional easy listening type artists.The versions of the songs not done by Z100 core artists were widely played familiar songs.They played about 125 songs in total, which were repeated over this 24 hour period.When Scott Shannon arrived at WPLJ, he began the same tradition there in 1991.Z100 discontinued the tradition in 1992 and during the "alternative years".By 1997, more core artists began creating Christmas music.As a result, Z100 reinstated the 24 hours of Christmas that year.The show is then repeated an average of once a day over the following week, with a final broadcast airing in January.Until 2004, the countdown began at Noon on Christmas day after the "24 Hours Of Christmas"."Wake Up With Whoopi" Goldberg program, heard in NY on Z100's sister station WKTU.As of 2006, Z100's Top 100 countdown is hosted by Elvis Duran and new afternoon DJ JJ.However, if a popular song is only in low to medium rotation during the later part of the year, it will often chart very low or not at all on the year end countdown, only to appear very high on the countdown of the following year.Z100's Top 100 Songs from 1983 to 2007."When Doves Cry"
1985: Wham!"Careless Whisper"
