The Daily Buzz is a nationally syndicated morning news program produced in Orlando, Florida by ACME Communications. The show is one of the fastest growing syndicated shows in America. It started on September 16, 2002 with 10 stations and has grown to encompass 39% of American television audiences. The show is known for its informal atmosphere as opposed to its more conservative counterparts.

The three-hour program is broadcast every weekday morning. It is currently carried in 144 U.S. television markets. In 2005 the show was dropped in 4 markets, including Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Columbus, and Indianapolis. But the show was picked up in 6 markets, including Austin, Detroit, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Honolulu. WSBK-TV in Boston stopped airing the show after its June 30, 2006 edition.

When the show began, it was broadcast out of WBDT in Dayton, Ohio. The show moved to Orlando in August 2004 and is currently broadcast out of the former WKCF studios, as that station is now located in the same building as WESH. However, with Good Life Broadcasting-owned WLCB-TV set to move into the former WKCF studios in early 2007, it is unknown where the show will be broadcast out of in the future.

The Daily Buzz also has a page on the popular social website MySpace.com. They also have a page with videos on YouTube.com
