Cowhead and Brent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cowhead & Brent was a radio show broadcast in Tampa, Florida. The radio station that carried the show changed formats and the show was cancelled. As of July 2006, Cowhead is currently running a morning show on 102.5 The Bone in Tampa.
On January 9, 2006, one of the two, Cowhead, made his return to the air at 98Rock WXTB in Tampa. Brent is now on the night shift of 105.9 The Buzz in Sarsota.
Cowhead and Phatty (aka Spice Boy from the Bubba The Love Sponge Show) were the hosts of "The Cowhead Show" weekday from 6 a.m. till 10 a.m. eastern time. In March, they were suspended pending an internal investigation over alleged indecent comments made on the show. Cowhead, Phatty, and Brian Medlin, the radio station's program director, were fired following the investigation.
Cowhead released a press release via his official Web site stating that the reason he was fired was due to a competitor in the Tampa Bay radio market who edited his bits to make them contain expletives and sent them to WXTB advertisers. In actuality, Cowhead was fired over questionable content in accordance to Clear Channel's "Zero Tolerance" policy. Cowhead's firings have made radio critics consider him to be in the category of shock jocks.
On March 31, 2006, Cowhead was a guest on the Kidd Chris Show in WYSP, Philadelphia explaining the circumstances surrounding his suspension and ultimately his firing. The Cowhead Show [1] website has the interview. He also appeared on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show on Friday, May 5, 2006 to explain his firing .
Most recently, Cowhead has made appearances on Nobody Likes Onions, a popular Internet radio program (podcast) based out of his hometown of Tampa. Cowhead plans on returning to NLO periodically.
On July 2, 2006, All Access reported that Cowhead will be the new morning show host on WHPT-FM (102.5 THE BONE) in Tampa, Florida. The show is set to begin within the week of the announcement. A co-host and actual start date have yet to be determined as of July 4, 2006. An internet stream of Cowhead's show will be available on the official website of 102.5 The Bone. Ironically, this is the same station that was selling against him at 98 Rock, by telling advertisers how awful and dirty his show was !
On July 10, 2006, the new Cowhead show launched with Brent coming back as a co-host and long time friend of Cowhead, Moose finishing up the cast.
Cowhead was a guest of the Bubba the Love Sponge show on Monday September 25, 2006.
