Craig "Junior" Miller (born December 20, 1965 in Amarillo, Texas) is an American radio personality and member of the Dunham and Miller Show, heard 5:30-10:00 AM on sports radio KTCK 1310 AM [1] in Dallas, Texas. Miller co-hosts the show with long-time friend and college roommate George Dunham, alongside Gordon Keith.
Miller is one of the few remaining original Ticket hosts. Miller has been co-hosting with Dunham on the station since 1994.[2] Miller has been nominated for and received several NAB Marconi Radio Awards throughout his career.[3]
Miller and his cohosts are the highest rated morning radio program in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.[4]
Miller is an avid runner and cyclist[5] and often competes in competitive cycling events and marathons.
Feud
In early January 2019, Miller was involved in a feud with Sylvester Squirrel and two of his associates. The feud appeared to have ended with Miller using a very low powered BB gun (Daisy Powerline 880 Air Rifle with woodgrained Monte Carlo stock and forearm, fiber-optic front sight and Crossbolt trigger block) to frighten Squirrel and force him into hiding. On January 17, 2019 Squirrel appeared on the Dunham & Miller morning program vowing revenge.[6]
Music
Miller is the éminence grise and mastermind behind Descending Hunan, an uncategorizable musical entity. Miller has stated that he is most proud of his music. Descending Hunan has performed at Ticketstock, an annual Ticket Event, to the adulation and incredulity of hundreds of unprepared festival-goers.
