Is Birmingham’s Rick Burgess, co-host of the popular “Rick & Bubba Show,” going solo with a radio show of his own?

That’s the word from Robert J. Carey Jr., president of Syndicated Solutions, the company that syndicates the “Rick & Bubba Show.” According to reports by Radio Ink, Radio Online and other websites that cover the radio industry, Carey announced a new show from Burgess this week while marking Syndicated Solutions’ 25th anniversary.

“Collectively, the SSI team and I look forward to the new chapters ahead and future milestone celebrations for the company, as well as bringing the country the next big morning show that is going to be special — ‘The Rick Burgess Show,’” Carey said, according to the reports.

The home page for the Syndicated Solutions website includes logos for both the “Rick & Bubba Show” and “The Rick Burgess Show.” Also, there’s a new website for “The Rick Burgess Show,” bearing the same logo posted by Syndicated Solutions and the words “Coming in 2025″ on its home page.

Details on “The Rick Burgess Show” haven’t been revealed, and as of early Thursday afternoon, Burgess had yet to announce a new show on his social media. It’s unclear if staffers from the “Rick & Bubba Show” would follow Burgess to a new show, but the “Rick & Bubba” also features Calvin “Speedy” Wilburn, Michael “Helmsey” Helms, Greg Burgess and Chris Adler.

The reports come one week after Burgess and his radio co-host, Bill “Bubba” Bussey, announced that the “Rick & Bubba Show” would call it quits at the end of 2024, ending a 30-year run. “We have decided that this will be the final year of the ‘Rick & Bubba Show,’ Burgess, 59, said on the Feb. 1 program. “There it is. I just said it right out.”

The popular morning radio show is nationally syndicated and produced at WZZK-FM in Birmingham. It airs live on weekdays, 5 a.m.-10 a.m., on more than 60 radio stations across 18 states, according to the WZZK website and the “Rick & Bubba” YouTube channel.

“We will finish out this year, and we’re going to go wide open and have a great year, and have a lot of flashbacks and memories, and talk about the last 30 years that, by the way, you folks have made possible,” said Bussey, 59. “And we don’t discount that.”

Burgess and Bussey have promised to make their final year on the show “a celebration,” looking back at the past and emphasizing the things that have made “Rick & Bubba” beloved by listeners. Bussey also emphasized that everyone on the show is in good health, and said there’s no rift behind the scenes between the hosts.

“We are all fine here. We are friends. We will remain friends,” Bussey said. “There’s nothing bad here. This is just where we are, and it’s been a wonderful long run, and it had to end sometime. And this is the time.”
