Rolston To Receive Kidd Kraddick Award
As is tradition, each year’s recipient is responsible for selecting the following year’s honoree. Last year’s winner, Dave Ryan of KDWB/Minneapolis, said in selecting Rolston, “The responsibility of choosing the next Kidd Kraddick Award winner is the hardest part of winning this award. So many amazing radio people went through my head like characters on a slot machine! But I owed Kevin for helping me hide that body at Boot Camp 2014, so I knew he was the one.”
Rolston (left, with co-hosts Virginia Sinicki and Jason Pennington), remarked, “There isn’t an honor I would cherish more. I believe Kidd Kraddick was the most gifted person to ever crack a microphone in our industry. Everyone to have received his award is an industry giant. I don’t feel worthy, but I’m not gonna turn this down either! And to receive this award from Dave Ryan is such a cool full-circle moment for me.”
The Kidd Kraddick Award will be presented to Rolston during Talentmasters’ 36th Annual Morning Show Boot Camp (MSBC), happening August 8-10 at The Hard Rock Hotel, San Diego. Register HERE. [Special thanks to Don Anthony]
