The Kidd Chris Show was an American radio show. It is OVER.

On May 16 2008, the website Philly.com and its entertainment columnist Dan Gross reported that the Kidd Chris show had been taken off WYSP's airwaves effective immediately and that Foley and his staff had been terminated.[1] The action was taken in response to the airing of a song parody described by CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo as "highly offensive and completely inappropriate for broadcast," which had been performed by a guest of the show on March 21 2008.[2] Also fired was program director John Cook.[3] FMQB reported a possible return of Opie and Anthony, whom Foley replaced when he moved to mornings.[4]
