Welcome Dayton
Syndicated radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge® will be broadcasting his top-rated morning talk show live on Cox Radio’s WZLR 95.3 The Eagle in Dayton, Ohio, starting this Monday, March 16.
With WZLR 95.3 The Eagle, Bubba the Love Sponge® – ranked #52 on Talkers Magazine’s 2009 “Heavy Hundred†list of top talk radio hosts – adds market number 62 and another classic rock format station to his growing roster of music stations that air the show live.
The Bubba the Love Sponge® Show currently airs on Cox Radio stations WHPT-FM/Tampa (102.5 The Bone),WFYV-FM/Jacksonville (Rock 105), WHDR-FM/Miami-Ft. Lauderdale (93 Rock), WHTQ-FM/Orlando (96.5), and WDYL-FM/Richmond (Y101), along with Beasley Broadcast Group station WRXK-FM/Ft. Myers (96 K-Rock). The show is broadcast live from 6 am to 10 am ET weekdays from Bubba’s own custom, multimedia studio in Tampa, which is regularly visited by stars from the worlds of sports, comedy, music and film/TV/video.
Bubba said, “With Dayton, I feel closer to my Indiana roots, and having started my radio career in the Midwest, I feel that the show will do real well there. With Cox, I feel we have the right people and resources to succeed.â€
The most recent Arbitron radio ratings survey (Fall 2008) shows that Bubba’s morning show on Tampa’s WHPT continued to be the most-listened-to in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater market and the most popular program with radio’s most desirable audiences. The show is number one in eleven demographics, including adults, men and women ages 25-54 and adults, men and women ages 18-34. The achievement illustrates Bubba’s continued lead in the top spot for the fourth consecutive ratings period since he made a triumphant return to local airwaves in January 2008.
The Bubba the Love Sponge® Show features co-hosts/producers Brent Hatley, Manson, Spiceboy and Ned. The web site is www.btls.com.

Long time listener from Dayton here…I’m a Sirius subscriber. I can’t wait for all of my non-Sirius listening friends to finally hear first hand what all the hype is about BTLS and the Bubba Army. Welcome to Dayton guys!

One step closer to Canada, need a Detroit or Buffalo. Then we can pick you up here at home in the great white north.

I’m so excited to be able to hear Bubba on my local radio. I’m forcing all my friends to listen so they can finally understand my obsession with your show from listening on Sirius. You’ll be #1 here in no time.

DAYTON ISNT THE TOWN FOR BUBBA, I USE TO LIVE THERE, SORRY BUT YOU’LL LOSE DAYTON SOON, MOST PEOPLE LISTEN TO 103.9

Now that you are on The Eagle I thank God my radio has a CD player so I will never be forced to hear your show. Now be sure to use that rapier like wit to call me a faggot. When I think of a “Love Sponge” all I can think of is what Elaine on Steinfeld used to soak up man juice. Is that what you are? A man juice soaker-upper?
