Bubba UNsponged

Bubba the Love Sponge® (born Todd Clem), age 46, is a native of Warsaw, Indiana who began his career in 1986 at radio station WPFR in Terre Haute while he was in college. By age 25, he was doing morning hit radio in Chicago – and also has broadcast or been syndicated in Grand Rapids, MI; Milwaukee, WI; Philadelphia, PA; Toledo, OH; San Diego, CA; Columbus, OH; Cincinnati, OH; San Antonio, TX; Tampa, FL; Orlando, FL; West Palm Beach, FL; Macon, GA; Wichita, KS; Shreveport, LA; Ft. Myers, FL; Jacksonville, GL, and Hartford, CT, for which he earned multiple awards from Billboard and Radio & Records, including four consecutive R&R DJ of the Year awards and six Billboard Rock Air Personality of the Year awards.

In 1999 he legally changed his name to the trademarked Bubba the Love Sponge®, a nickname given to him by a former fellow DJ which appears as such on his passport and driver's license. His name recognition and popularity grew as the Bubba the Love Sponge ® Show became syndicated throughout the US, and he became a top-rated media figure operating out of the Tampa Bay area.

In 2004, Bubba lost his job in terrestrial radio due to crackdowns on "indecency." During his time off, Bubba made headlines when he ran for sheriff of Pinellas County, Florida in 2004. Although unsuccessful in his bid, he garnered 30% of the vote. Bubba was able to keep the entire show staff together until Howard Stern brought him to Sirius Satellite Radio in 2006 to be part of his groundbreaking new lineup. In January 2008, the Bubba Radio Network returned to terrestrial radio in Tampa with a bang, jumping instantly to #1 in most major demos, where he still reigns today.

Bubba's off-air interests, such as race car driving, enjoy a prominent place on his show, which has become the "go to" place for people who are interested in fast cars and bikes, hot women, captivating sports, compelling guests, and humorous, real-world political discourse of the "Bubba" kind. His13-year old car racing son, Tyler, his girl friend "Naughty Nikki", and his mother "Janiecakes" are frequently heard on Bubba's shows and are popular figures with fans. 

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.
