Radio Star Get's Own Night at MLB Ballpark!

How many radio stars in your city could pull this off?

Hats off to Bubba for being a larger than life character and capturing a huge audience in Tampa-St.Pete.

From All Access:
Tampa Bay Rays Schedule 'Bubba Night'

BUBBA THE LOVE SPONGE has TAMPA BAY RAYS fever: The COX RADIO Classic Rock WHPT-F (102.5 THE BONE)/TAMPA and SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO personality's show will hold "BUBBA at the Ballpark" night under the roof at the RAYS' TROPICANA FIELD in ST. PETERSBURG JUNE 20th.

Over 35,000 BUBBA/RAYS T-shirts to be handed out and the show's "NED" throwing out the first pitch before the RAYS-HOUSTON ASTROS interleague game. The ST. PETERSBURG TIMES and its TBT free paper are co-sponsoring the event.
We need more stars. We need more storytellers. We need more creative and talented people encouraged to be personalities that can paint pictures with words and capture the imagination of their audience.

We need to be prepared for the ongoing decline (much faster young and somewhat slower older) in music radio.

Humans communicating with humans. It works at any age. As long as it's good.
