On February 24, 2004, Bubba The Love Sponge was fired by his then employer, Clear Channel Communications, a victim of the F.C.C.'s crackdown on Radio indecency.
Bubba had been with 98 Rock (WXTB-FM, Tampa) since December of 1996. That station also served as the flagship station for his syndicated program which was fed to various terrestrial radio stations plus XM Satellite Radio's "Extreme XM 152".
Bubba the Love Sponge gained much notoriety when he was arrested on animal cruelty charges following the airing of a "roadkill barbecue" featuring the slaughter of a pig. He was eventually acquitted.
Although once known as Todd Clem, he actually changed it legally to Bubba the Love Sponge. He is divorced and shares custody of one child.
