Radio Bam (or Bam Radio) was a Sirius Radio Station that aired on Mondays at 7pm, straight after The Jason Ellis Show. The show's supporting cast was originally made up of Margera's fellow CKY crew members Brandon Dicamillo and Brandon Novak, who appeared on most episodes of the show's early years, with frequent guest appearances from Ryan Dunn, Rake Yohn and Chris Raab as well as Bam's parents April Margera and Phil Margera and occasional appearances from the Jackass crew. A recurring feature on the show was DiCamillo's freestyle raps which often poked fun at Rake by insinuating he was gay and the show frequently came under fire for its use of sexist and homophobic language. DiCamillo would also spend while shows impersonating Rake for episodes where he was not present. Bam would also take phonecalls from listeners calling up to insult the show or the crew in order to mock them on air. The first two years of the show ran concurrently with Margera's MTV show Viva La Bam and episdodes occasionally involved Margera and the crew discussing incidents from previous episodes or plans for future episodes. In later year Bam gradually lost touch with the CKY crew and the show then started Bam's other friends Chad, Novak, and Joe Frantz. On one occasion of Radio Bam, Margera left the show early after the conviction of his uncle Don Vito, saying Fuck America and saying he would run to Kazakhstan to get away from this fucked up ass country.[1] On June 20, 2011, a special tribute episode was aired in memory of Ryan Dunn, who died early Monday morning, airing the best moments with Ryan.[2] One episode of Radio Bam was taken off the air after a conversation got out of control. On episode #143, Brandon Novak was kicked out of Bam's studio and sent home to Baltimore, Maryland after they found drugs on him. Since February 18, 2013, there have been no new episodes of the show, leading to the belief the show had been cancelled. This was later confirmed by Jess Margera on the official CKY Website. [1]
