Bill Bussey

Bill "Bubba" Bussey (born March 27, 1964 in Montgomery) is a former radio morning show personality on the nationally-syndicated Rick & Bubba Show which broadcast locally on flagship station WZZK-FM from 1994 to 2024.

Bussey was born in Montgomery but grew up in Jacksonville in Calhoun County. He went to Jacksonville State University and worked at the college's radio station. After graduating, he got a job as engineer for WQEN in Gadsden and recommended his friend from the JSU station, Rick Burgess, to be the station's morning show personality. The two began to work together to come up with ideas for the show. Eventually, they teamed up on-air and the Rick & Bubba Show was born. It moved to Birmingham in 1998 to become nationally syndicated.

In 2024 Bussey accepted a position as assistant athletic director for broadcasting at Jacksonville State.
