1959

David Peter Cradick (August 22, 1959 – July 27, 2013) was an American radio host and television personality, known as Kidd Kraddick.

His nationally syndicated morning radio show, The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, is based in Irving, Texas, and aired throughout the United States, syndicated by Kraddick's company, YEA Networks.

He was also seen on the nationally syndicated Dish Nation television show weeknights around the United States.

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.

1991

In 1991, he founded a charity organization named Kidd's Kids, with the mission to "provide hope and happiness by creating beautiful memories for families of children with life-altering or life-threatening conditions."

What initially began as a bus ride to Sea World in San Antonio expanded into a family trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando for over a thousand children.

Kraddick attended the University of Miami for a semester, but dropped out to study broadcasting.

KEGL changed formats from Top 40 pop/rock to Modern Rock in 1992 and Kraddick was released from his contract.

After eight months off the air, he was hired to a morning position at Top 40 KHKS-106.1 "Kiss-FM" in Dallas-Fort Worth.

In 1992, "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" was born as a local radio program in Dallas.

The show broadcasts from 5-10 a.m. Central on weekday mornings and is nationally syndicated in more than 70 markets and the American Forces Radio Network through YEA Networks.

Kraddick voiced a number of characters, making extensive use of voice altering technology in improvising characters as they came up during show discussions.
