Big D & Bubba Join WKDF/Nashville
• Cumulus makes a major syndicated change in morning drive at WKDF (103.3 Country)/Nashville, announcing the addition of Compass Media Networks-syndicated Big D & Bubba show, starting Monday, Oct. 18. The show will air weekdays from 4-10am, and succeeds the Westwood One-syndicated Morning Koffy, hosted by Paul Koffy and Jasmine Sadry, which had been in place since May 2020.
This move marks an on-air homecoming for hosts Derek “Big D” Haskins and Sean “Bubba” Powell, who have both lived in Nashville for the past 18 years.
Charlie Cook, Programming Ops Manager, Cumulus Nashville, said, “We are lucky that talent this good is right here in our backyard. We’ve heard Big D & Bubba for years and understand how hard they’ll work for WKDF. They are funny, relevant and artists love them.” Allison Warren, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Nashville, commented, “We are thrilled to be working with the Big D & Bubba team. They have consistently entertained audiences and bring an unparalleled passion to every show their team hosts. This crew are born storytellers, their laughter is contagious, and they have a gift for relating to people whether artists or listeners. We are confident our clients and listeners will be surprised and delighted when they tune into the Big D & Bubba show.”
“Airing live in mornings on 103.3 Country is the culmination of a ton of hard work,” said Bubba. “Preparation and luck have met, and it’s time to cook this chicken!” Big D remarked, “This is our home. We live here. We have each raised our families in this town. Bubba’s a volunteer firefighter. We are the listener, and we’re living the lifestyle. Country is what we are.” Patrick Thomas, President of Nashville-based Silverfish Media, which produces Big D & Bubba, added, “We believe in great content, and we want to bring our unique style to the city we call home. We are so proud to be part of the team at 103.3 Country.” Pictured, (l-r): Big D, Patrick Thomas, Silverfish Director of Programming Jessica “Carsen” Humphreville, and Bubba.
