Bubba Off The Air at Beasley's WBRN-FM/Tampa
RADIO ONLINE | Monday, December 12, 2016 |
Beasley Media Group flips Rock WBRN-FM/Tampa to all Christmas music and as a result "The Bubba the Love Sponge Show" will no longer be carried by the station built around him in the market. Bubba will not return following the end of the holidays when the outlet will begin a new format. "Beasley looks forward to continuing its relationship with Bubba and The Bubba the Love Sponge Show on WRXK-FM (96K-ROCK) in Fort Myers, FL," said a company spokesperson.
Bubba has been at the center of several controversies over the years, most recently a ratings-tampering suit filed against him by Nielsen, which is seeking $1 million in damages. He admitted to the ratings tampering charges at a news conference last year. Perhaps it was this incident that finally did him in in Tampa.
