Bubba The Love Sponge - SIRIUS Satellite Radio

SIRIUS Satellite Radio
Personal: Former real name: Todd Clem. He changed his name legally to Bubba The Love Sponge. Bubba is divorced and shares custody of one child.

Radio: Bubba the Love Sponge is doing afternoon drive on "Howard 101", SIRIUS Satellite Radio as of January 9, 2006. (One of Howard Stern's channels.)

On February 24, 2004, Bubba The Love Sponge was fired by his then employer, Clear Channel Communications. He was a victim of the F.C.C.'s crackdown on indecency in Radio.

Bubba had been with 98 Rock (WXTB)since December of 1996. It was the flagship station for his program.

The program was syndicated to various stations and was also heard on Extreme XM 152 from XM Satellite Radio.

From bubbasyndication.com:

"He's the host of the show, not to mention one of the most well-known personalities in the radio business today. Bubba is a tenacious broadcaster, using his deceptively sharp intelligence and perceptiveness to create compelling radio on a week-in, week-out basis.

Unlike some other high-profile show hosts, Bubba is unafraid to be controversial and speak his mind. He's an exceptional storyteller, a brilliant debater and a shrewd businessman."

Claim to Fame: Arrested for animal cruelty after airing a "roadkill barbecue" featuring the slaughter of a pig. He was eventually acquitted.
