Rick and Bubba

The radio program began on January 8, 1994.[1] The show is heard live Monday through Friday from 5 to 10 a.m., Central Time. It also is heard as a replay on weekends on some of its affiliate stations. When Rick and Bubba are on vacation, a "Best of Rick and Bubba" show airs.

Rick and Bubba call themselves "The Two Sexiest Fat Men Alive." They often refer to their Christian faith and beliefs on air and have been regarded as a family-safe alternative to "shock jocks" sometimes associated with morning radio. Their political beliefs are also very conservative.

On February 11, 2008, the broadcast location of the show moved to the "Rick and Bubba Broadcast Plaza and Teleport" in Vestavia Hills, which houses the studio as well as management offices for the show. This location allows fans to witness the show from the sidewalk inside Vestavia Hills City Center, as well as from the "Golden Ticket" seats inside the studio.[2]

In March 2009, The Rick and Bubba Show was heard on XM Radio Channel 158, but is no longer available satellite radio.[3]

A televised version of the show premiered November 1, 2012 on Heartland. It lasted until February 1, 2016. It had also been seen on the Turner South Network.

Since September 10, 2018, The Rick and Bubba show can be streamed both live and archived, by subscribing to CRTV. CRTV has merged with The Blaze, creating Blaze TV, which now carries the program. It is also seen over YouTube.
