Tampa, Florida  -- Today, the wives left behind by fallen Tampa police officers Curtis and Kocab will each get big checks to help their families, after a fundraiser drive by radio's Bubba the Love Sponge.

What phrase leaps to mind when you hear the name Bubba the Love Sponge? How about "kind-hearted giving?"

No? Well, then, think twice.

Bubba is the man who's led the drive to raise thousands of dollars for the Curtis and Kocab families.

Just one week after that awful morning when Jeff Kocab and Dave Curtis were shot and killed in the line of duty June 29th, Bubba went on the air with a fundraising drive.

He brought other DJ's on board, and urged listeners to donate to the Bubba the Love Sponge Foundation. The nonprofit foundation has already given around $100,000 to the families of fallen Florida law enforcement officers.

Tuesday, Bubba Clem -- that's his full name -- will hand over the biggest single checks yet.

The Curtis and Kocab families will share $53,000.

Those checks -- each for $26,500 -- are just a small part of the debt our community owes these two families.

The presentation Tuesday afternoon at Tampa Police Department headquarters will bring together Bubba Clem, Police Chief Jane Castor, Major Sophia Teague from TPD's Special Ops Division, as well as widows Kelly Curtis and Sarah Kocab.

"You know I'm a father and you know things are a lot different once you have kids and maybe that's the reason why I change my ways a little bit I mostly feel for the children who no longer have a father," Clem told 10 News.
 
Greaseman benched at Jacksonville's "Rock 105" WFYV

The inventive storyteller “Greaseman” Doug Tracht returned to the market on the Cox Radio classic rocker in the Fall of 2008. Many locals had heard about his earlier time there at the original “Ape”, WAPE. He had recently been part of a personality lineup at Rock 105 that included Bubba the Love Sponge (syndicated from Tampa) and the Cowhead show. Now the North Florida Board of Radio-Info detects a change: both “Grease” and Cowhead are gone, as the station focuses on marketing itself as “The home of Bubba The Love Sponge and 50 minutes of classic rock that really rocks.”

While syndicates and stations look at the ratings that tests receive, it’s just one part of the process, according to Joanne Burns, Twentieth’s executive VP of research and marketing. “It’s just as much about figuring out what works and what doesn’t—is the talent right, are the segments right—as it is about the ratings,” she says.

And not every show lends itself to testing. “We ask ourselves the simple two-part question on every project that comes up: Should we test this, or should we go national?” Burns says. “If it’s a huge idea and a huge talent, the salespeople will say, ‘Fore-go the test because I can really sell this.’ They are never going to take a huge name and say, ‘I want to test this first.’”
