Big D & Bubba To Succeed Tracy Lawrence As Syndicated Show Hosts
Time Marches On: Tracy Lawrence will be stepping down as host of his three-hour weekly, Silverfish Media produced and Compass Media-syndicated show, Honky Tonkin' with Tracy Lawrence, after a decade at the helm. Concurrently, Lawrence's co-host, Patrick Thomas, also departs the show. Beginning in January, Silverfish/Compass personalities Big D & Bubba will take over as the show's new hosts, in addition to hosting their eponymous daily show. Focused on '80s, '90s, and early 2000s country music, Honky Tonkin' is heard on more than 165 stations. It will be re-branded as Honky Tonkin’ with Big D & Bubba.
