Unfortunately, the station has been tracked out of town for a long time.
Currently:
Elvis Duran (Syndicated from New York.) Last they had Connie & Curtis (Syndicated from Milwaukee)
Katie Kruz early middays. Local. (She was last at WLKG Lake Geneva, and WIIL in Kenosha)
Seacrest for the lunch hour. He's hard to avoid unfortunately.
Aaron Rodgers for the afternoons. Local.
Big D syndicated from KDWB.
And Jenny Lee overnights, local. It's actually pretty rare these days for overnights to be local. Usually they just run the premium choice feed.
Z104 runs the Premium Choice feed all weekend.
In Milwaukee, Radio Now has Elvis Duran. Jesse Mitchell (Local), Katie Summers (Tracked from Tampa), Riggs (Local), Jackson Blue evenings (Tracked) and jockless overnights.
Weekends they have Elvis Duran replay, Jesse Mitchell (Local), Riggs (Local) and Brotha Fred (Tracked from Chicago) as well as Mike Conway (originally tracked locally, now tracked from Madison) and Aaron Rogers (Tracked from Madison)
Could be much worse. Some smaller markets have the Premium Choice format on all day long except for 1 shift, usually afternoons, sometimes mornings.
Z104 is no stranger to out of market voice tracking. Randi West used to track middays back in the day.
