The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show (formerly Kidd Kraddick in the Morning) is an American ensemble morning radio show that originates out of Dallas, Texas and airs weekday mornings. The show is hosted in the Canal Side Lounge in Irving, Texas. The show's primary focus is pop culture commentary, with discussions often revolving around the previous night's reality television programming, celebrity relationships, and current affairs. The show streams live on Livestream at Kiddtv.com. The morning show is syndicated by YEA Networks and distributed by Westwood One, which had bought the show in May 2016. It is currently broadcasting on more than 75 radio stations across the U.S. The morning show is available in an on-demand service via their own site and audioBoom.
