Bubba on 99.1?

R

radioguy555

Flipping through stations this afternoon around 3 pm, I happened to land on 99.1 FM and heard Bubba. I'm not sure if it was a repeat of the morning show or somehow a feed from his satellite show, but he definitely dropped the F-bomb. Anyone know what this is about?
 
It would have to be that a nearby car was listening to him on Sirius and modulating it to 99.1, an empty spot on the Tampa dial.
 
There are a lot of those on Sirius, I listen regularly. I can't imagine that the same show gets on terrestrial air uncensored. Maybe someone fell asleep at the switch.
 
It was not on terrestrial radio!!!!!! There is no nearby station on 99.1!!!!!! The plug-n-play radios broadcast a signal to a spot on the FM dial that you choose in your car. If you are in your car, close enough to a car that is using one of the radios you can tune it in on your radio. No one fell asleep at the switch. He was listening to the Sirius show.
 
Drive down the open Interstate, set your radio to 87.9 and you'll hear lots of Howard and Bubba for a few seconds.
 
I apologize, I didn't realize that satellite radio worked like that. I know you can do something similar with iPods and FM transmitters. You'd think the FCC would not be too happy about satellite radio channels being picked up by people who don't even have it, especially with Howard and Bubba-type shows.

The FCC has come down on the FM modulators hard, with the NAB and public radio leading the charge.

Who cares what the FCC thinks!

Their job should be to regulate bandwidth only.

The Decency Act is indecent. REPEAL IT!
