WFAA is reporting they have confirmed that Dallas radio legend Kidd Kraddick has died at age of 53 in New Orleans.
He passed away in New Orleans Saturday at a fundraising event for his Kidd’s Kids charity organization. Local law enforcement confirmed that Kraddick was taken to West Jefferson Medical Center in New Orleans on Saturday.
A staple of North Texas radio since 1984, he broadcast his nationally syndicated “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning” radio show from a studio at Las Colinas. It aired locally on KISS-FM 106.1.
“All of us at KISS-FM, Clear Channel Dallas, YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader,” a statement from Clear Channel Dallas said late Saturday night.
Kraddick was 53. The cause of his death was not released. Clear Channel said that information will be made available “at the appropriate time.”
