Early Monday morning, radio personality Samuel Mack, better known on the airwaves as Buck Wilde, posted on his Facebook a visual teaser of his return to Birmingham with the 95.7 JAMZ logo at the end of the video.

“Alright! On my way to Birmingham! They have no idea what they’re getting into,” Wilde said in the video. “I don’t have any idea of what I’m getting into either!”

According to Wilde, he’s officially back on the air weekday afternoons from 3-7 p.m. on the popular hip-hop station.

Twenty minutes into his Monday show (his first time back on the air), he said, “Am I, Buck Wilde, back in Birmingham? Look at this! Crazy right? I’m just as surprised as you are!”

During another break, the personality gave a little more time to speak to his return to the station.

“My name is Buck Wilde. Yea, it’s really me. I’m here…like…permanently,” Wilde said on the air. “But you never say ‘permanently’ because you know I can get fired at any moment. You know me! Back at the station where it all started. You know when they first called me, I thought they were gonna talk to me about putting on the old people station. And I was like eh, that will be cool, but 95.7 JAMZ would better.

“And I was really surprised when they said OK. I’m like ‘What? You gonna send me back home? OK, I like you!’ So anyways we’re gonna have fun. They got a lot of rules for me to follow to make sure I don’t get in trouble, but I’m not following none of that. If I get fired, I get fired. But this ain’t gonna be no ‘Buck Wilde Morning Show’ in the afternoon. I mean, we had a lot of fun, but we gonna create something new here. I’m gonna talk a lot less, and I’m gonna play the music every body is playing, the hits.”

His radio persona is a play on his name — “wild” — because one story people will remember is Buck Wilde leading the April Fool’s Cash Drop joke in Birmingham, which led to station protests and made news that week.

Wilde returns to the Birmingham airwaves for the first time in 14 years. He worked at WBHJ 95.7 JAMZ when it was birthed under Cox Media in 1997. During his time at the station he hosted “The Buck Wilde Morning Show” with various co-hosts like Afrika, Deja Vu, Ebony Steele, NuYork, and B.Money.

He also gave Rickey Smiley, Roy Wood Jr. and FunnyMaine their starts as on-air comedians. In September 2010, Wood’s “Roy Wood Jr. Show with Nu York and B Money” replaced the “Buck Wilde Morning Show” after Wilde left the station to move his radio show to Dallas’ K104 FM. “If there was anybody to replace me I would have wanted it to be Roy,” Wilde said at the time.

Wilde would also later work as a the Creative Services Director at WVEE V-103 in Atlanta.
