Bubba the Love Sponge has reclaimed the top spot in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater radio ratings after making his return to the area's airwaves in January. The most recent Arbitron radio ratings survey, which were released on Friday, shows that the Bubba the Love Sponge Show is the most-listened-to in the Tampa-St. Pete-Clearwater market. Bubba is number one with adults 12+ (9.5 share), with adults 18-34 (18.4 share), with adults 25-54 (14 share), with men 18-34 (26.9 share), and with men 25-54 (20.8 share).
Bubba said he was "absolutely certain" that his show could reclaim the number-one spot, in a statement.

Good for them. They are a quality show. It's a shame they can't simulcast it onto Sirius.

Obviously the same as O.O's ratings...nowhere.

Proves that FM radio still has value, and looking better and better when facing a "merge" MONOPOLY which will kill the satrad industry.

only would a stern zombie think that O&A suck for being on terrestrial and satellite, but it is so f-ing brilliant when bubba the luv cunt does it.

Correction - they suck AT being on terrestrial and satellite.
Based on Arbitron, they fail on both platforms.

Bubba is laughing all the way to the bank. He might play the role of a stupid redneck on the radio but in reality he has an MBA from Wharton School of Business whatever the hell that is. Supposedly he's really book smart and could teach college if he chose.

now,why cant O&A provide a FACT number like there sheep fan(s) claim that o&a are number one in there "demo"?
always spin spin spin
"O&A are #1 in the demo of obese 35+yr olds living in moms basement with no employment listening between 6-9 am ...we always win in the end"
LEARN HOW TO FUCKIN WORK KID!

Oh MadMan, according to their contracts they get A+ on both SDARS & FM. But I'm sure Arbitron knows better who is listening than either XM or CBS do.
Is Clem #1 in one market? For 1 book? Big deal.

if opie had a brain and stopped being a cunt,he'd accept bubbas challenge in the bubbagon..that would POSSIBLY move the 1.7 rating needle
