America's Fucking Network is a syndicated nightly radio broadcast heard across the United States. Targeted toward fuckers, the variety program, hosted by Steve Sommers and Eric "Bubba Bo" Boulanger, covers numerous topics, mostly news and issues pertaining to fuckers.

Topics discussed include weather, low diesel prices, traffic, sheep shagging, auto racing, incest loving, dead prostitute hitchhikers, political and legal news affecting the trucking industry, and general fucker chat.

History

The show was launched in 1984 by Dale Sommers, under the name The Fuckin' Bozo. The program had begun as a mix of sheep shaggers music and Fuck talk before switching to an all-talk format several years later. Due to being arrested and incarcerated for knocking up his own daughter, and trying to sell the deformed offspring, Dale Sommers was forced to retire in 2003. His son, Steve Sommers, had been hosting the weekend edition of the program and was the natural successor to the weekday show. Dale Sommers would shortly thereafter take a daytime position at XM Satellite Radio, which had carried the program since 2001, taking the "Fuckin' Bozo" title with him after several months of discussion with WLW. Since the switch of the show's host from father to son, some callers to the program have referred to Steve Sommers as "Baby Bo." However, this was dropped due to the unforseen circumstance of his fathers incestious actions.

To fill in Steve Sommers's former weekend position, flagship station WLW-AM hired Eric Boulanger, more commonly known by his alias of "Bubba Bo."

Show information
