RadioIO Inks Deal to Keep Bubba the Love Sponge(R) on Its Roster of Internet Offerings
May 02 2014 - 12:17PM
Radioio, Inc. (OTCQB:RAIO) today announced it has entered into a
new agreement with Bubba Radio Network, Inc., pursuant to which
RadioIO will continue to deliver Bubba the Love Sponge® and his
shows exclusively over the Internet on Bubba Army Radio. During the
term of the agreement, RadioIO has the exclusive right to
distribute archived and newly produced internet-only content of the
Bubba Radio Network over the internet and the non-exclusive right
to broadcast live the Bubba the Love Sponge show which is
syndicated on terrestrial radio. RadioIO shall pay periodic fees
based on subscription and advertising revenue received by the
company relating to the Bubba programming. The agreement runs
through December 31, 2016.
Bubba Army Radio's exclusive internet-only daily programming on
channels Bubba One and Bubba Two, a three-hour delayed West Coast
feed, features the Bubba the Love Sponge show, Bubba Army Radio
Uncensored, The Shannon Burke Show, Dangerous Conversations with
Scott Ledger and a daily specialty show.
Bubba, a native of Warsaw, Indiana, has hosted RadioIO's Bubba
the Love Sponge show since January of 2011 and was recently ranked
at #26 for the "Top Talkers" of 2013. His extensive radio career
began at WPFR-FM in Terre Haute, IN, to his eventual domination of
the Tampa ratings at WXTB 98 Rock. He currently hosts the #1 male
rated popular morning drive show airing on WHPT 102.5 "The Bone" in
Tampa, Fla., WRXK 96.1 "K-Rock" in Ft. Myers, Fla., WYBB 98.1 "98
Rock" in Charleston, SC, WTRS 102.3 "My Country" in
Gainesville-Ocala, Fla., WZLB 103.1 "The Blaze" in Valparaiso, Fla.
and KRZQ in Reno, NV. Bubba, handpicked by Howard Stern, was the
first additional broadcaster to host a live uncensored show on The
Howard Stern channel Howard 101 on SiriusXM Radio from 2006–2010.
The Bubba the Love Sponge Show quickly became the second most
listened to talk show on all of SiriusXM, surpassed in listenership
only by Howard Stern himself.
"We are excited about our partnership with Bubba and look
forward to continue to offer his programs to our subscribers,"
commented Zachary McAdoo, RadioIO's President and Chief Executive
Officer.
RadioIO's proprietary award-winning programming of over 100
music and talk hosted channels and shows is rapidly expanding and
delivering increased ease of use for subscribers who can sign up
for all ad-free channels on a yearly or monthly basis. Answering to
listeners' recent calls, RadioIO has brought back the Bubba Army
Radio Uncensored show, and has also added over 10 new talk channels
and music stations. Subscribers have easy access to an extensive
collection of downloads, including uncensored Bubba the Love Sponge
shows, archived by year, and shows from his five years on Howard
101 on Sirius XM.
