Service Broadcasting, owner of Urban KKDA-FM (K104) in Dallas and flagship for Dede in the Morning, and syndication partner Compass Media Networks have announced the continued expansion of the DeDe in the Morning franchise with the clearance of the program at WTBS (Mix 87.7) in Atlanta as well as the debut of "DeDe's Weekend Kickback."

"We are thrilled with our progress nationally and appreciative to now be heard in Atlanta," said K104 FM Director of Operations & Brand Manager Geo Cook. "The launch of DeDe's Weekend Kickback is in response to our growing list of affiliates who want unique and compelling content for weekends, in addition to weekday mornings."

Core Radio Group President Steve Hegwood said, "I have been a huge fan of DeDe for years. Her morning show has been extremely successful on KKDA Dallas. DeDe delivers compelling, creative content daily, she's funny & she works hard at the craft of entertaining. We are excited to bring her talents to the most competitive urban market in America - Atlanta, Georgia."

Compass Media Networks officially launched DeDe in the Mornings in partnership with Service Broadcasting K104 in Dallas TX in July, 2018.
