Before his current job at Z100, Duran's previous radio jobs included a stint as an on-air personality at WIOQ in Philadelphia. He served as WIOQ's program director from May 1989[3] until just before he was fired in February 1990.[4][5] In October 1991, Duran became both the program director and morning show host of KBTS (now KGSR) in Austin, Texas.[6]

Prior to working at Z100, Duran also worked evenings at Z-93 with sidekick "Hot Henrietta" in Atlanta, and in Houston. He began his run at Z100 hosting the afternoon slot until April 1996,[7] Tom Poleman, the newly appointed program director, moved Duran to the morning slot, where he has been ever since.[8][9]
