cowhead just posted this

so you know they had this planned for a while since the graphics are already made and they knew it was a sure thing.

[SJ]

btw could you look a little grumpier in your profile picture? :jj:

Yep, I just heard his promo for his upcoming show today and he just said "Something tells me this is gonna be a good god damned show today". You know he records those early in the week so he's had to have know for a few days at least.

kinda funny how're they're still jobbing out he BMS and not playing the full show :jj:

CMG Tampa will continue to be the technical head end to the Bubba Radio Network through the end 2014. The Bubba the Love Sponge Show will continue to be aired on KRZQ – Reno, NV, WTRS – Ocala FL, WRXK – Ft. Myers FL, WZLB – Ft. Walton Beach FL, WYBB – Charleston SC, and WRSO – Orlando FL.

[1c]

Can't say I'm gonna miss you fat ass. :woot:

[PissJug]

:crylol:

fuck cowhead though

[PeteFromPA]

This is great news for Mike Calta, Shannon and Drew. Looks like Bubba's going to get his wish of pushing dirt around that track of his full-time. Karma's a bitch, Bubba.

[TJGoSurf]

I got on Twitter today. Looks like I've been blocked by Bubba. I've never even tweeted him. The only contact I've had was when I emailed the show to tell him how far its gone down hill. What a paranoid dick.

Looks like my RadioIO account was deleted too.

[Chob]

Holy shit.

[Chob]

Not to twist the knife because, oddly enough, I still feel bad for him. But I'm betting he wished he built up io a bit more.

This is another thing that I find odd, I thought the BRN aired a feed directly to those locations.

Yeah, by cancelling an account of someone who actually pays. Good job tubby.

That's really weird. Last I checked my account was still active but was at the "free" level.

If you still care, e-mail Greg at io. He's insanely fast about responding to customer service inquiries.

[TJGoSurf]

I logged into someone else's account and today's show wont download

[Chob]

Yeah I figured post-Bubba they'd get mornings. But I didn't think it would be "post-Bubba" until 2015.

Once the story starts coming out it's going to be interesting for us town gossips of the internet. :munch:

[Chob]

I'll say moving Burke to 12-3 fucking sucks. I see no reason he can't be promoted to afternoons and Drew can not have his position on the lineup disturbed.

Also what does 810 AM do now? Air the show on a delay?

[Tuddle]

Nope you would think but bubba was trying to be cheap and having the feed come from the Bone. Why do you think he tried to get Jared fired.

[custard_assassin]

Personally I was a huge Bubba fan going back to the Power Pig days, but in all honesty his show has really lost it's juice in the past 5 years or so. He did a piss poor job of finding (and keeping) his supporting on-air talent. I never understood why he decided to bring 25cent back, I find that watching paint dry more interesting than him. Manson/Ned has really lost his edge, so much to the point that it seemed like Manson could rarely muster an opinion of his own (unless it agreed with Bubba's) and really the humor/content of the show was so outdated. I kept trying to give him another chance, morning after morning but always found myself changing the channel. I enjoyed Shannon's short stint and knew that even Shannon knew when it was time to jump from a sinking ship. The show was/is out of gas. I think Bubba really needs to take a step back and revamp the entire show.

On a side note, while I was trying to listen to the show yesterday, I changed the channel when Manson introduced his "new song" Isis, Isis Baby. Is it just me, or has Manson/Ned re-used the Ice Ice Baby song on at least 3 other parody songs? I can't name them off the top of my head but I know there are a few. Maybe Manson could use some time off as well to work on some new material.

Ah. I thought the dead air was only on the Bone because I was listening to the io feed.

Super lol



That's all

I'm starting to wonder if Bubba isn't going to end up on Sirius. Hatley there, Bubba not thinking this is a "sad day" per his tweet this PM.

I don't know why he bothers. It's just him, Manson and 25 anymore. Fucking sad.

Do you really expect me to read all this shit?

[Kramer]

In at Sirius.

Watch.

[SJ]

I still can't watch but i'd listen ;D

If bubba came back to sirius I would actually consider listening again. I like sirius's on demand features and can't stand commercials anymore. However, the show would still need to be majorly revamped to keep me as a listener. I'm not interested in ages 50+ radio topics

[bobbyda4]

I thought everyone loved Bubba? Guess not..at least we don't have to pay shannon .99 cents a day for his fuckin podcast-back to a free show. And I don't have to listen to bubba on 102.5 anymore..things are lookin up.

[Dr_Jeckyll]

Nope, part of Hatley's contract is he can't talk about bringing Bubba back to SXM.

[SJ]

that sounds like the most ridiculous contract clause I've ever heard and wouldn't believe it until I saw the contract with my own eyes.

[Spaz]

Not to mention "talking about bringing " and "bringing" are not the same thing.

@MrMikeCalta u know shit. Keep sucking spices dick. Both of u will be exposed! #tonyburton #gawker


not for nothing bubba, but we've been hearing this for a long time about a LOT of shit.. wait till you hear, wait till you hear.

more like wait till i tell you to wait till I tell you some more

bring it, don't sing it.

Bubba Clem @BTLSRadio · 8m
@MrMikeCalta my listeners ur inheriting will not listen2 u. Just wait

he's right on that one. Even if I don't listen to bubba in the morning anymore, there's no way I can take cowhead and his vapid crew of airheads

I did like Bubba's show, when it was the whole crew, especially the first two years at Sirius. He has totally pushed out, fired, alienated, or gotten people to wise up and quit. Now, when Cox decides not to renew him at The Bone, he has to be - predictably - childish about things, making it personal with Mike Calta, Spice, and probably Shannon (although that shoe hasn't hit the floor yet).

As it stands, there's not much reason to listen to Bubba, Manson and 25 anymore. The show just doesn't have any chemistry or depth anymore. It's over.

Same 'ol Bubba schtick. As for Calta, he has his own listeners, and will be successful on his own terms. The "Bubba Army" will continue to wither and die as Bubba becomes more and more obscure.

I still say that BTLS circa 2006-2009 was the closest thing to 90's Stern that I've heard. It wasn't the same without Brent & Spice though.

Agreed. I'm not ashamed to say I was a huge fan during that time. The show was awesome during that time.

Found on another 'fan' site, fucking hysterical.
