Kidd Kraddick Divorced, David Cradick, better known as Kidd Kraddick, (born August 22, 1959) is an American radio host. His nationally-syndicated morning radio show, Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, is based in Las Colinas, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, and airs throughout the United States on Citadel Media (formerly ABC Radio Networks).

Early life

Kraddick was born on Aug. 22, 1959, just outside of Toledo, Ohio.[1] He moved with his family to Florida at a young age and began his radio career at the age of 18 on tiny WKXY in Sarasota. Within a year, he had a full time shift on Q105 which featured the original “Zoo” format[citation needed]. He moved to Dallas in October of 1984 after brief stints in Los Angeles (KHTZ) and Salt Lake City (KLRZ). Kraddick took over the night shift on the newly formatted top-40 station KEGL (The Eagle) and had a loyal following, His bits included the “Boogie Check” and a segment called, “Make it or Break It” (pitting new songs against each other, competing for future airplay on the station.) In 1986, Kraddick turned down offers from WLS-Chicago and KIIS-FM in Los Angeles and was promoted to afternoon drive. A short time later, he replaced the recently-terminated Moby (James Carney) on morning drive at KEGL. One notable feature he presented was, “Burn Your Buns,” a segment where Kraddick, upon a listener’s request, would call a certain boss or relative or friend of the listener, and play a prank with them over the phone. (Kraddick drew the ire of many of those targets over the years, to the point where the segment was discontinued.) In May, 1992, KEGL changed formats from Top 40 pop/rock to Modern Rock. The entire airstaff, including Kraddick, was released. Kraddick briefly filled in at DFW station KLIF-570AM, then was hired in November, 1992, to headline the new airstaff at Top 40 KHKS-106.1 “Kiss-FM” in Dallas-Fort Worth. (The station was a resurrection of Top 40 KTKS-106.1, which left the local airwaves in 1987. 106.1’s departing format, Smooth Jazz, relocated to KCDU-107.5 Fort Worth.) By 2003, Clear Channel syndicated Kidd’s show to several markets, in mostly medium to small cities across the US, with KHKS becoming the flagship station. By 2007, Kraddick acquired his company, “Yea Networks!”, from Clear Channel, but continued syndicating his show using Citadel Broadcasting (Formally ABC Radio Networks). On August 29, 2008, he announced his divorce from his wife of 18 years Carol Cradick in April 2008. His show is now heard on 75+ affiliates across America.

The two have a daughter, Caroline Cradick.

In the early 1990s, Kraddick launched two radio oriented businesses. A monthly publication for morning personalities called “The Morning Mouth” and a show prep “sharing service” for air personalities called “BitBoard”. Kraddick subsequently sold both entities; BitBoard is now operated by Clear Channel Communications and The Morning Mouth is owned and operated by Talentmasters in Atlanta, Ga.
