Cumulus Media’s “103.3 Country” WKDF Nashville has announced it will add Silverfish Media’s “Big D & Bubba” for mornings starting Monday, October 18.
Big D & Bubba’s show originates from Nashville and will air on WKDF from 4-10am weekdays. The Show features Derek ‘Big D’ Haskins, Sean ‘Bubba’ Powell, Silverfish Media President/ producer Patrick Thomas and Silverfish’s Director of Programming Jessica ‘Carsen’ Humphreville. The show previously aired in Nashville on iHeartMedia’s 97.9 WSIX from 2003 to 2011 in afternoons.
Big D & Bubba replaces “Morning Koffy” on WKDF. Paul Koffy and Jasmine Sadry took over the WKDF based syndicated slot in May 2020 until their exit at the end of September. While “Big D & Bubba” will air on WKDF, WKHX Atlanta’s “Kincaid and Dallas” replaced “Morning Koffy” on all of the affiliates this past Monday.
CUMULUS MEDIA announces that its Nashville Country music station 103.3 Country/WKDF-FM has added the Big D & Bubba radio show to its weekday morning lineup.
