Crag "Junior" Miller (born 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 "yuck monkey" 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 is a highly decorated broadcaster, and has been nominated for and received several NAB Marconi Radio Awards throughout his career.[3] To date, his work in the field of popular music for such songs as "Descending Hunan" and "Points for Sex" have not earned him a Grammy nomination.

Miller and his cohosts consistently bring in the largest ratings in their market, and 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.

Friday Morning Scattershooting

Every Friday morning at 7:35, Miller hosts the "Friday Morning Scattershooting" Segment, where he discusses an array of topics, ranging from sports facts and stats that stand out to him, incompetent criminals, and a weekly joke. Miller adopted the "Scattershooting" style from late Dallas sports columnist, Blackie Sherrod.[6]
