The ratings firm says allowing Bubba The Love Sponge's claim that Nielsen, Cox and Cox morning man Mike Calta conspired against him will not only delay the upcoming June trial against Bubba, but are also "based on fanciful conspiracy theories with no basis in fact."

And the Media Ratings Council has not provided the information for several reasons, according to Bubba The Love Sponge's legal team. In his ratings tampering case, Bubba alleges that Nielsen's ratings are inaccurate, "and, therefore, any purported damages claimed by Nielsen in this matter cannot be properly attributed to the defendants."

More from Bubba's counterclaim. He alleges that over the course of several telephone calls between Cox and Nielsen in 2015, the two companies "concocted a plan to conduct a sting operation designed to entrap Clem into engaging in ratings distortion activity."

You would think settling this fight in mediation would be a long shot, but both sides are set to give it a try next month. Both Nielsen and Todd Clem have already agreed, in court filings, that a settlement is unlikely. Nielsen accuses Clem of ratings tampering by contacting PPM panelists, and is asking Clem for $1 million in damages. The mediation session will take place July 5 at 1:30 in Tampa with attorney Dennis Alvarez sitting in as the mediator.

In a 20-page court filing there are a lot of denials by Todd Clem (Bubba The Love Sponge) in the lawsuit he's facing from Nielsen for alleged ratings tampering. Clem admits to having a friendship with a cooperating panelist but denies he gave the panelist specific instructions on what to do.
