The successor radio show to Rush Limbaugh has finally been announced by Premiere Networks, at least with regard to his timeslot:
THE HILL – Conservative radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton will be taking Rush Limbaugh’s time slot on Premiere Networks, the distributor of Limbaugh’s show, the company confirmed Thursday.
A spokesperson for Premiere confirmed a Wall Street Journal story Thursday which reported that “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” will air from noon to 3 p.m. ET., on stations around the country starting June 21.
Limbaugh — whose show turned conservative talk radio into a national force — died of lung cancer in mid-February at the age of 70.
Sexton had been a guest host on Limbaugh’s show and has a three-hour evening weekday talk radio show also on iHeartRadio called “The Buck Sexton Show.”
Sexton was also a co-anchor on Hill TV, along with Krystal Ball, and has written numerous columns for The Hill.
Travis currently hosts the “OutKick the Coverage” radio show which is owned by media company Outkick and is broadcast on radio stations via Fox Sports Radio network.
“And ultimately, I made the decision that my radio voice is more valuable talking about the issues facing the country today than it is talking about who won a game the night before,” Travis wrote on the Outkick website.
This seems like an odd pair to take over the Rush timeslot, but I’m sure Premiere knows what they are doing.
Buck Sexton I’m familiar with and I think he’s a good voice for conservatism. Clay Travis I’m less familiar with and what little I do know about him is not great.
What do you think about the duo?
