Budget cuts have led to the elimination of two local shows on Cox Hot Talk “102.5 The Bone” WHPT Tampa.
The Spice Show, hosted by Matt ‘Spice’ Loyd, Geo, and Jared, which aired from 7 to 10pm and Chris Fisher’s “The Fisher Experiment”, airing from 3-5am have been let go from the station.
While budget cuts are being given as the reason for both shows being let go, Spice took a few veiled shots at Bone morning host Bubba The Love Sponge on Twitter, for whom he served as producer before moving up to host his own evening show.
Revenge is the best revenge….right Bubba? Just checking……

BTW, the reason is "budget cuts". As for ratings, last quarter I was #1 in my demo & time slot. Anyways, lets get drunk…
