If the Bubba The Love Sponge ratings tampering case actually begins on July 23 (it's been delayed several times) we now know who will take the witness stand for both Nielsen and Bubba

The trial was supposed to start today and has now been pushed back to Monday July 23, according to a new court filing. The filing also says the case is expected to take seven days.

In the Bubba The Love Sponge ratings-tampering case, Judge James Whittemore has rejected an attempt by Bubba to have Nielsen's expert witness David Haas disqualified as an expert witness.

In his Nielsen ratings tampering case, Todd Clem (Bubba The Love Sponge), is asking the judge to throw out the "expert testimony" of David Haas. Haas was brought in by Nielsen to attempt to calculate the damages done to Nielsen as a result of the tampering Nielsen is alleging. Clem wants the testimony tossed because he says Haas is no expert.

Bubba The Love Sponge will be back on the air in his home market as of February 13. His new station is 50,000 watt news-talker WWBA-AM (820), owned by Genesis Communications.

In his fight with Nielsen, Bubba The Love Sponge had been challenging Nielsen's claim that certain documents were confidential. On Friday, United States District Judge James Whittemore denied Bubba's request to have those documents available for the public to see.

And apparently due to Michaels falling ill, both Bubba and Nielsen are asking to push back the deadline to complete discovery, which was supposed to be today. Two days ago Nielsen took the deposition of Rhody Bosley and Nielsen expert David Haas. Michaels is being called a rebuttal witness. His deposition was scheduled for today.
