iHeartMedia Austin adds "The Billy The Kidd Show" on CHR KHFI-FM (96.7 Kiss FM) to morning drive, effective February 29. Anne Hudson will co-host the show with Billy The Kidd. Kidd has been with iHeartMedia for over 15 years and is currently afternoon drive host on co-owned KHKS-FM (106.1 Kiss FM.)/Dallas. Kidd has also aired on WHTZ-FM (Z100)/New York, Channel 955/Detroit and Mix 96.1 in San Antonio.

Hudson has been a syndicated radio and television personality out of Austin for over 15 years and currently handles middays on co-owned KASE-FM, afternoons on 103.1 iHeartAustin and was an entertainment and fashion reporter for Time Warner Cable News Austin, San Antonio and Los Angeles.

"I love Austin and have been on the air here on weekends for a while. I am beyond excited to launch our new morning show and hopefully we become part of your morning routine," said Kidd.

"Billy is an amazing talent and I feel so honored that we get to take this journey together. We're going to have a lot of fun," added Hudson.

"Billy is one of the true great radio talents out there. In Dallas, he is a radio star and we believe he, along with Anne, can create some really fun and compelling content that the unique Austin radio market is looking for," said Senior VP/Programming Patrick Davis for Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. "Anne has had tremendous success with mid days on KASE 101 and moving her to mornings on KHFI should help write the next chapter in the great history of 96.7 Kiss FM."
