Rick and Bill became friends at Jacksonville State University while working at the college radio station. Rick was the afternoon radio guy and Bill was the promotions director and engineer. Rick went on to a maze of broadcasting jobs at WHMA-AM and FM, then on to a new '80s and '90s docket station WKFN now WVOK-FM in his hometown of Oxford, Ala. and a "spill" on the road as a rock singer in a band. ??Bill began a career in directing the newscast at WJSU-TV in Anniston, Ala., and a part time job at WPID in Piedmont, Ala. (where they would let him talk!). Bill became manager of WJXL and ended up as chief engineer for WQEN/ WAAX in Gadsden, Ala. When management was looking for a new morning man, Bill recommended Rick for the job. Before long, Rick had nicknamed Bill as ?Bubba? and the two became a broadcast team.
