The new Bubba987, WBRN! For the first time ever in major market radio history, Bubba The Love Sponge has his own radio station named after him! If you haven’t listened, TUNE in to listen for yourself! It’s like listening to Bubba’s personal iPod – where you’ll hear the hottest collection of music ever on the radio… we like to call it Classic Rock with a twist (and with a dash of classic ‘throw back’ hip hop & rap added to spice things up a bit).... The station sounds amazing and like nothing else on the radio today.
That’s why it’s called “NO RULES RADIO”!!
THE MUSIC
Bubba and his team are the best in the business for driving customers to sponsors businesses. Just ask any of these advertisers who see the power of the “Bubba Army” listeners every day!
It’s the New Bubba!
The BTLS show is one of a kind, Bubba’s witty humor and dialogue keep his listeners engaged like no other. That is why advertisers on Bubba987 are so happy and continue to partner with the station. When Bubba first came back on advertisers likeMcDonald’s, Elder Ford, CamTech, Old North East Jewelers were ready to start right back with him to continue their successful partnerships. For some advertisers being purchased nationally Bubba has been perceived as being too edgy. Since Bubba has come back he has taken some of the controversial edge off, further solidifying Bubba987 as a great place for national advertisers to reach Men and Adult advertisers in Tampa Bay. You will often hear Bubba compare himself to the old Bubba, and how now he is communicating a little different, here is an example of that:!
Testimonials from loyal customers
“I just wanted to let you know that thus far Jeff Italiano is very happy with the response he has been getting from Bubba's endorsement of his business. Jeff called me last week and said that his employees had taken several calls from customers who were part of the "Bubba Army" and that the quality of lead was surprisingly good. He had talked with several business owners who had been told by their employees to call Italiano based on Bubba's on-air recommendation. It's always nice to be able to tell a station that their format is really working for the client.
Thanks for your efforts on Italiano Insurance's behalf!”

Testimonials from loyal customers
“I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how pleased we’ve been with our radio advertising so far. Just in the first month, our web traffic for H2 Turf is up approximately 40%, and has generated many new leads for our business. In fact the very first day the on-air ad ran, we received a call from a large municipality that heard us on the radio, and are currently negotiating a contract that would cover our advertising costs for the entire year. That’s about as good of an ROI as we could ask for.
You and your team have gone above and beyond in helping us set up our ads, and giving us a great radio and online presence. Something I thought we would not have been able to do just two months ago. I want to thank you and Beasley again for making this possible for us. We look forward to continuing our ads with you and BBG in the future, and scaling up our campaigns as our business continues to grow.”

Marc,
As a long time Bubba advertiser I wanted to let you know how happy we are to have him back on the air in Tampa. His show works so well with our key demographics and as a result we’ve noticed a nice increase the 1st quarter 2015 (Bubba on in Tampa) over the last quarter 2014 (Bubba not on in Tampa).Thanks and keep up the great work.

Bubba and his team are the best in the business, let’s meet Bubba…
Bubba Bubba is one of the most prominent radio personalities in the world, and he is right here in Tampa Bay! He has been thoroughly entertaining listeners for over 25 years, and has built an army of followers. Bubba is respected for his ability to attract and maintain audiences with his lightning-quick mind and tongue, his sharp sense of humor, his everyman approach to many nontraditional radio topics, and for the unique lingo he often uses on-air, which fans refer to as “Bubbaspeak.” Fans of the show are known nationwide as the “Bubba Army,” and are very active in participating in functions and calls to action, where it is not uncommon to have thousands show their strength and support for the show. He maintains a longtime team of loyal co-hosts and producers, who bring a wide range of talents to the show: Impersonation wizard Manson, radio’s oldest and crankiest pervert, Ned, and 25 Cent.
The Bubba the Love Sponge Foundation was established as a 501(3)(C) Florida charity in late 2008 by syndicated and radio host Bubba the Love Sponge® Clem as a community awareness and donations vehicle that supports worthy causes and victims.
Since then, the Foundation has raised and donated more than $420,000.
