It broadcasts live on the radio as well as streaming audio via the station website from 6 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. ET 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.<ref name=boris2011>{{Citation |last=Boris |first=Alan |year=2011 |title=Philadelphia Radio |series=Images of Arimerica |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |location=Charleston, South Carolina |page=126 |isbn=978-0-7385-7508-7 |oclc=706018831 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MrqtnHNgEP8C&q=%22preston+and+steve%22&pg=PA127 |access-date=December 2, 2011 }}</ref> With several of their WDRE co-workers, they departed the station for Y100 in 1997 when WDRE changed format.<ref name=boris2011/> After four years of ''The Y100 Morning Show with Preston, Marilyn, and Steve'', Marilyn Russell left the morning show on March 1, 2002, citing family reasons. She has worked part-time on other stations in the Philadelphia area since then, including WMGK, SoJo 104.9, WYSP, and joined morning personality Dave Cruise as co-host on "The BENFM Morning Show on 95.7 in 2007.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Greater Media Grapevine |url=http://www.greatermedia.com/newsletters/fall_2007.pdf |date=Fall 2007 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080513163601/http://www.greatermedia.com/newsletters/fall_2007.pdf |archive-date=2008-05-13 }}</ref>
In 2001, 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 that acquired 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" the same day.<ref>{{cite news |title=Radio One Displaces Y100 Philly With The Beat |url=http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=69087 |date=2005-02-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071220034845/http://www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=69087 |archive-date=December 20, 2007 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
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.

==="Totally Office Calendar"=== In 2006, Elliot had a slip of the tongue while trying to say "awesome" and instead said "office". Later that year they announced that they would be releasing a calendar featuring one (sometimes two) woman a month. Lauren Harris had been the only woman to appear in the calendar every year, until the 2015 calendar, when other commitments kept her from participating (she returned to appear in the 2016 Calendar). Release of the Calendar is typically accompanied by a "Totally Office Calendar Party", which can draw thousands of participants to see the women depicted in the Calendar in person and receive signed copies of the Calendar. There was no Calendar shoot nor a release party for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Instead, a 2021 "Totally Office Calendar" poster featuring past photos from previous Calendars was created and was given to anyone that made a drive-through donation at the 2020 Camp Out for Hunger.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://wmmr.com/2021-totally-office-calendar-poster/|title = P&S 2021 Totally Office Calendar Poster ON SALE NOW|date = November 5, 2020|access-date = November 29, 2020|archive-date = December 10, 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201210141304/https://wmmr.com/2021-totally-office-calendar-poster/|url-status = dead}}</ref> The Calendar poster was later made available through the station's "Rock Shop" store on their website for the apropos price of $9.33.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.philly2philly.com/entertainment/entertainment_articles/2010/11/15/25563/preston_and_steves_2011_totally_office_calende |title = Preston and Steve's 2011 Totally Office {{As written|Calender}} Party brings thousands to Chickie's and Pete's |first = Joe |last = Vallee |date = November 15, 2010 |work = philly2philly.com |publisher = Game Time Media, LLC |archive-url = https://www.webcitation.org/5uZRoODwL?url=http://www.philly2philly.com/entertainment/entertainment_articles/2010/11/15/25563/preston_and_steves_2011_totally_office_calende |archive-date = November 28, 2010 |access-date = November 28, 2010 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
