DeDe McGuire takes over K104 morning show

She's signed a two-year contract and plans to become the new "king of the mornings."

DeDe McGuire joined the morning show team in 2009, and will now take over as host.

DALLAS — Approaching the two-year anniversary of her show, DeDe McGuire has signed a new deal, cementing her place in the top spot as host of KKDA K104 FM Morning Show, now named DeDe in the Morning.

“I’m trying to be the hardest working woman in radio,” says McGuire, “I’m ready to take the throne as the new king of mornings.”

Officially joining the morning show team at K104 in 2009, McGuire played the co-host role to two other personalities before claiming the head position becoming DeDe in the Morning. Lady Jade and comedian Michael Shawn, who recently joined the team, join McGuire on the morning show weekdays on K104.

Hosting a major-market morning show five days a week, while also co-hosting a nationally syndicated afternoon radio show, is almost unthinkable, unless you happen to be McGuire. With a workday lasting from pre-dawn to beyond sunset, McGuire is fueled by a midday lunch break and the passion that propelled her from small-town radio to legendary stations in San Antonio, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Dallas.

As the host of her own show on Dallas/Fort Worth’s K104 FM DeDe in the Morning and co-host of The Doug Banks Show each afternoon, McGuire has proven to be one of the most exciting and successful women in radio. With no signs of slowing down, McGuire continues to feed her millions of listeners with candid celebrity and political interviews, insider gossip, and information to educate the masses.

Fans can listen to the show on the airwaves at KKDA K104 FM or listen online at K104FM.com.
