Kraddick Show Returns To Houston

• Radio One Top 40 KROI (RadioNOW 92.1)/Houston has filled its morning vacancy with the market return of the YEA Networks-syndicated Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, starting March 9. The Kraddick show replaces the Joe and McKinzie morning show, which had been simulcast on KROI and Top 40 WNOW (Radio Now 100.9)/Indianapolis until last week. At press time, WNOW has not announced a new morning show. KROI becomes the 16th Texas affiliate of the Dallas-based Kidd Kraddick Morning Show and the show’s 68th U.S. affiliate.

Dustin Kross, Top 40 Format Director of Radio One, said, “I’m really excited to bring the legendary Kidd Kraddick Morning Showback to Houston on RadioNOW 92.1. They still have a great streaming presence in Houston from when they were here before. So, I have no doubt they’ll be welcomed with open arms.”

Shawn Nunn, President of YEA Networks, added, “We are more than appreciative of the opportunity to work with Radio One and to be back in the Houston market! The entire Kidd Kraddick Morning Show team is ready to do their part in helping make RadioNOW 92.1 a powerhouse in Houston.”

Pamela McKay, VP/GM of Radio One Houston, said, “We are excited to welcome The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show and KiddNation to RadioNOW 92.1 Houston! The show has a longstanding relationship with Houston listeners and we are looking forward to seeing this relationship continue to grow. The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show is also a great community partner in the cities they call home and we are excited to partner with them on Kidd’s Kids and other local community partnerships.”
