Break the knob off your radio again? Use a pair of pliers and adjust as needed until you find something you like. You might even want to invest into one of those fancy CD players.<P ID="signature">______________

I think a good deal of it has to do with the fact that they share their faith on the air. It's to be expected, though. Jesus told us in the Bible that the world would hate Him, and would also hate His followers (Matthew 10:22). Some of the hatred could be that some people just don't want others having something they don't (read: success).
Although I do agree with the idea of Rick and Bubba sharing their faith on the air, I don't really care for listening to their show, but that's just a personal preference. I don't get much into morning shows, myself. Just give me news, weather, traffic, and music and I'm happy. My wife likes Rick and Bubba, though, so I usually wind up listening to their show somewhere along the day, either sometime in the morning or when the show is replayed in the afternoon.

Nah, it's less about them being bible thumpers/hyprocrites and more about how they portray Alabamians as the usual ignorant, redneck, gaybashing racist stereotypes the rest of the country thinks we are.
It's one thing for them to be on regional radio, because we can only expect their kind of banal, sophomoric humor to flourish around here, but it's another thing for them to be on cable television for everyone to see.

As I have told a listener or two [Yes I heard from my manager about this] Your radio has two knobs, one changes the station, the other turns it off...You turn which ever one you want.
If you don't like Rick N Bubba, or any other show, DON'T LISTEN! Why bash them? If they didn't have an audience, why would all the stations on their network and TV be airing the show?
Why don't everyone find some positive things to say about radio. If it's all as bad as everyone on this board makes it sound, why are you in the "business"? Find a career you do like and can be proud of.<P ID="signature">______________

This thread has flame written all over it.
I dont think the hatred here has anything at all to do with religion. That is a silly statement.
The hatred has to do with the fact that it is the radio program that is representative of Birmingham and, like a previous poster said, their humor is bad. The entire show is just rambling and cheeseball humor. Fact of the matter is, many people around this state enjoy that. Though, there is room to hate a radio program when it represents a population.
I will give Rick and Bubba credit for being themselves on the radio and not some hacky zoo crew. But I do not like their show at all. They may be themselves, but they do not make for listenable radio.
They are part of the reason I'm a loyal XM listener.
Not because they exist, necessarily. Instead, because they, Birmingham radio, would rather have personalities in the same humor as Rick and Bubba instead of something FRESH.
Also, last I checked, this is a message board. Don't whine about people hating a show. Flaming may be annoying, true. However, the reason why message boards exist is both to love and to hate.
I can't believe I had to say that.
This Alabama board and Birmingham radio mirror each other sometimes.<P ID="signature">______________

I guess I was thinking on a larger regional scale, of all the radio shows to get the TV treatment, why would it have to be that one? Turner South's really deviated from its original purpose anyway. When it first started out it was a semi-intelligent channel about Southern culture, but I guess there's only so much of that you can do before it devolves.
It's like comparing The Oxford American to Georgia Sportsman Magazine. The people who think Rick and Bubba are a poor representation of Alabama on Turner South aren't going to get the people who think they're funny to understand why.
