Tampa Radio: Bubba's Back On Terrestrial Radio

Bubba the Love Sponge can once again be heard over the terrestrial airwaves in Tampa Bay.

The Tampa-based radio shock jock with a long history of controversies and lawsuits had been broadcasting over the Twitch streaming service and his own website since May, when he failed to come to a deal with the station WHBO 1040 AM, where his morning talk show had been broadcast most recently.

On Monday, Bubba returned to the air on three Tampa Bay stations, W252DF 98.3 FM, which has a signal that reaches Pinellas County, W244DF 96.7 FM, which can be picked up in Hillsborough County, and WWBA 820 AM, which can be heard throughout Tampa Bay, reports The Tampa Bay Times.

Tuesday morning, Bubba made his debut as the morning host on the recently purchased WDYZ 660 AM and W288CJ 105.5 FM stations in Orlando, which as of Monday had been re-branded Florida Man Radio with an all-new lineup.

The Bubba the Love Sponge Show will sound slightly different than last time it was on the radio in Florida. Mike “Manson” Waters departed the show in July, after working alongside Bubba since the mid-1990s, creating many of the show’s parody songs and voicing the character Ned.
