I didn't think it would ever happen but Tampa's shock jock has been ditched by Clear Channel. How do you kiss away a #1 rated morning show syndicated in 20 some markets?

TAMPA - (AP) -- Radio giant Clear Channel Communications agreed to fire popular radio talk-show host Bubba the Love Sponge after deciding his raunchy radio show didn't fit its standards, company President John Hogan said Tuesday.

In a statement, Hogan said Clear Channel Radio supported the decision of the managers of WXTB-FM in Tampa in severing its contract with the host, whose sexually explicit morning show prompted a proposed $715,000 fine from the Federal Communications Commission last month.
