Bubba the Love Sponge and executives at Sirius Satellite Radio appear to be having a disagreement about on-air material, and emotions have come to a head.

Yesterday, claims from Bubba that Sirius is censoring the show reached a heated moment when Tim Sabean, Program Director of the Howard Stern channels, called into the show. The on-air argument ended with Sabean hanging up on Bubba.

Listen to audio of the incident below:

Whether or not you're a fan of the Bubba the Love Sponge show, the issue of using the "corporate dump button" isn't a new one to satellite radio, and many listeners considered it to be completely unacceptable.

These channels bill themselves as being uncensored, and many times that includes the portrayal of opinions that may be unpopular with the company. Unless there's obvious issues with libel, defamation or other legal matters, there shouldn't be a reason to censor on-air material.

We still don't know the full story (especially behind the scenes), so look for more info on this as it develops.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

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.
