LOS ANGELES, November 24, 2008 - The Big D and Bubba Show hit a broadcasting milestone of 50 stations with the addition of Country 98/WXTA-FM in Erie, PA., today. The program will be heard from 6 to 10 a.m., Monday through Friday, locally at 97.9. The Big D and Bubba Show is one of the most widely syndicated Country morning radio shows.

Big D and Bubba commented, "We're excited and humbled at the same time. It's amazing to think that there are so many great Country stations carrying our show every day. In fact, it doesn’t seem possible. Can we get a recount?"

Jim Riley, WXTA-FM General Manager stated, "We're excited about bringing The Big D and Bubba Show to Erie's Country music fans. We'll continue to play a lot of great music, but Big D and Bubba will add a lot in between the records. Lots of Country stars dropping by to visit and stuff to make you think, make you laugh and make you cry. Erie's going to love Big D and Bubba."

Premiere Radio Networks assumed the distribution rights to The Big D and Bubba Show in October of 2005. Based in Nashville, Tenn., the family-oriented show was originally made popular by their homespun local approach and "candid phone calls." Requests from fans, including comedians, entertainers and Country music artists, poured in for copies of the humorous calls. In addition, fans enjoy interviews and live performances with Country music’s biggest names.
