Following its return to its heritage “Mix 102.9” identity earlier this month, iHeartMedia’s KDMX Dallas has debuted its new morning show hosted by Billy The Kidd and Candice Lopez.

Kidd has been of the air in Dallas since departing afternoons at iHeart CHR “106.1 Kiss-FM” KHKS-FM at the end of February. Outside of a six month stint in nights at “Z100” WHTZ New York in 2009, Billy had been with KHKS since 2004. He first served as MD/night host, but rose to afternoon host following his return and previously held Assistant Program Director duties. Kidd also hosted a separate morning show for “96.7 Kiss-FM” KHFI Austin from 2016 until 2021. He started his career at CHR 93.1 WDRQ Detroit in 1998 and then worked at CHRs “Hot 100” and “Wild 100” KRBV Dallas until their flip to Variety Hits “100.3 Jack-FM” in 2004.

Candice Lopez previously worked at KHKS-FM as afternoon traffic reporter and late night and weekend host in two stints between 2002-05 and again from 2007-09. She would also host weekends on “Radio Disney” from 2005-07 and then relocated to Los Angeles to host afternoons from 2009 until the network shut down at the end of 2020.
