Alabama-based, nationally-syndicated radio host Rick Burgess of “The Rick and Bubba Show” has announced the show will go on without his longtime co-host. After 30 years, the show will come to an end in late December of this year. In an Instagram post, Burgess said the first show of “The Rick Burgess Show” will hit the airwaves on January 6, 2025 and is expected to remain on the same affiliates nationwide.
Burgess expressed his gratitude toward his co-host for their time together.
“Nothing can ever replace The Rick and Bubba Show. The last 31 years have been an incredible journey,” Burgess wrote. “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.”
“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 from 5 am to 10 am 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!”
The Rick Burgess Show will be broadcast on the same stations currently carrying Rick and Bubba with plans to expand into new markets.
