Bubba Makes the Leap to Radioio.com

Just as we've been telling you for months now, Bubba the Love Sponge has taken a major leap of faith by telling Sirius/XM to "Shove It," and moving his show to the internet based Radioio.com platform.

The Bubba the Love Sponge Show will still be heard weekdays on his terrestrial affiliates from 6am to 10:00-10:30am. Immediately following the terrestrial show, Bubba and his crew will be doing a live, uncensored show for two hours. The terrestrial show will played on Radioio.com as well on one of Bubba's two show related channels. This show will be free, with replays throughout the day.

The second channel will air Bubba's exclusive, uncensored show, along with exclusive shows from Brent, Hulk Hogan, a Super Fan Round Table show, to be hosted by Jack Stiefel.

There will also be music channels featuring hand picked music from each of the on-air talent.

Just the Facts

As you probably already know, SiriusXM has still yet to reach an agreement with Howard Stern. Howard's current contract expires December 31st, 2010, with his last live show scheduled for December 17th.

Sirius has also failed to reach out to Bubba the Love Sponge and his crew to even begin negotiations. Most likely due to the fact that they have not signed Howard yet, and therefore are not sure where Howard's wing-man,  Bubba the Love Sponge will fit into their plans, if at all. During the last rounds of negotiations three years ago, Bubba made it clear that he wanted his contract to end at the same time as Howard's.


Based upon past experience with SiriusXM negotiators, and being the shrewd businessman that he is, Bubba put in place plans that would allow him to take his hugely popular radio show to the masses using an alternate method of delivery, the internet. Radioio.com (Ticker Symbol: IWDM) was the natural choice, as it is run by Bubba's Agent, Tom Bean.

A clause in his current contract with SiriusXM forbids Bubba to discuss his future plans on the air at SiriusXM prior to December 6th. Because SiriusXM re-broadcasts Bubba's terrestrial show, he cannot discuss it there either.

There is still a chance that SiriusXm will re-sign all, or maybe just some of the current H101 line-up of  Howard, Bubba and the boys, and Scott Ferrall.

Regardless of whether Bubba re-signs with SiriusXM, the venture into the internet based content delivery system at Radioio.com will happen.
