History

George Dunham and Craig Miller originally met at their alma mater, the University of North Texas, where they crossed paths during Freshman English.[4] They later alternated hosting duties for show on a campus radio station before eventually moving on to their professional careers.[4] The Dunham and Miller Show was one of the original shows aired on The Ticket when the station debuted in 1994 on 1310 AM in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Dunham and Miller added Gordon Keith to their crew in 1995 and have maintained the same core of hosts ever since.[4]

Popularity

The Musers regularly post the highest ratings in Dallas radio among sports shows.[2] In its "Best of Dallas 2011" article, the Dallas Observer noted, "Dunham & Miller are at this point basically lapping the field in Arbitron ratings. Every hour their show attracts twice the ratings as the offerings of ESPN-103.3 FM and KRLD-105.3 FM The Fan. Combined." [3] Dunham and Miller have also been nominated for the Marconi award for National Major Market Personalities of the year two times; they then won the award for Sports Station of the year, along with the rest of The Ticket, in 2007.[5] The program has been named Best Sports Talk Show by the Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and Dallas Observer.[1]

The show is known for its use of comedic impressions done by Dunham and Keith, accompanied by the dry humor of Miller.[2] Popular characters have included a fake Jerry Jones and a fake Wade Phillips.[2]
