Craig "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.

Miller's words of wisdom: "In general, a person would rather unknowingly be more linked, dairy-wise, to an unknown cow than to a friend. And that is the truth."

Miller is affectionately known as the "One True Muser".

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]

Coast To Coast

A few times a year Miller will host a highly decorated show entitled "Coast To Coast" on 1310 the Ticket. This labyrinth of information and special guests continues the unending saga exploring the unknown. Experts in the fields of UFO's, the formidable Sasquatch, the paranormal, and the nutritional, emotional, physical and spiritual value of drinking your own urine all clamor to be interviewed by Miller on the coveted Coast To Coast program. Miller adopted the concept from Art Bell who created and hosted the original Coast To Coast program in 1984.
