Rick Burgess, one of the two iconic hosts of longtime Alabama radio show "Rick & Bubba," has announced what's next as the show comes to an end this year.
While Bill "Bubba" Bussey will serve as assistant athletics director for broadcasting at Jacksonville State University, the alma mater for the two self-proclaimed "Sexiest Fat Men Alive," Burgess will continue hosting a radio show, now branded as "The Rick Burgess Show."
According to Burgess, the new show will begin on January 6, 2025, and will air Monday through Friday each week from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. CT. It will remain on all current stations and platforms, both live and archived, and it will air in "several" new markets.
"Nothing can ever replace The Rick and Bubba Show," Burgess wrote on his Instagram account. "The last 31 years have been an incredible journey. I will always be grateful for the partnership with Bill Bubba Bussey and the blessing he has been not only to my family and me but to so many of you ! We have much to celebrate! The unforgettable moments we produced through the Rick and Bubba Show will live on and can be enjoyed for years to come but it’s time for the next journey."
He continued, "As grateful as i am for the past, I am also very excited about the future. Lord willing on Jan 6, 2025 The Rick Burgess Show will air 5am to 10am Central Time Mon-Fri on all current stations and platforms both live and archived. We are also excited to be adding several new markets to the radio network. Speedy, Greg and Adler will be joining me in this new adventure, we hope you will as well. Now that you know what we will all be doing in 2025 let's enjoy the remainder of the final year of the Rick and Bubba Show!"
