With the death of legendary conservative talk radio personality Rush Limbaugh, a large number of on-air hosts sought to capture the crown from a mantle that for some in the industry may have been affixed with Krazy Glue. Today, Limbaugh’s former audience is split across several programs. That said, the formal successor show is a strong anchor for Premiere Networks — and one that won’t be changing in composition anytime soon.
Clay Travis, one-half of The Clay & Buck Show that pairs Travis with Buck Sexton each weekday from 9am-Noon Pacific, has signed a “renewed and expanded” agreement with Premiere and parent company iHeartMedia.
“Clay Travis is one of the most dynamic and influential voices in Talk radio, and
we’re thrilled to continue our long-term partnership with him,” said Julie Talbott,
President of Premiere Networks. “His ability to engage audiences, spark
meaningful conversations, and deliver results for our station partners and
advertisers has been extraordinary, and we look forward to continued growth and
success together.”
Travis, in addition to espousing views aligned with Republican politics in the U.S., is the founder of OutKick Media, which fuses sports, pop culture, and politics-based media.
“Clay Travis has built one of the most influential brands in news, talk and sports
across every platform, and we’re excited to continue and expand our partnership
with him,” said Rich Bressler, President/Chief Operating Officer for
iHeartMedia. “From the continued success of ‘The Clay & Buck Show’ to the
growth of his podcast network and the launch of the Sport & State Podcast
Network, this partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering
compelling content at scale and reaching audiences wherever they are.”
The Clay & Buck Show, which celebrated its five-year anniversary in June, will continue to be distributed as part of The Clay & Buck Podcast Network, which was launched in March 2023 and distributed by iHeartPodcasts.
