Originating from Nashville, Tenn., the program will feature Travis’ informed, outspoken, fearless and often funny commentary on the latest sports headlines, as well as pop culture commentary, interviews and listener interaction. The FS1 college football analyst and founder of the wildly popular OutKickTheCoverage.com will continue to host his top-ranking Outkick The Show webcast, which is streamed live on Facebook, Periscope, YouTube, FOX Sports GO and FOXSports.com.

More than two million unique video viewers watched/listened to Outkick the Show in June 2016, making it the most-watched daily sports show streamed live on Periscope and Facebook in the country. In addition, OutKickTheCoverage.com had another record year in 2015. The four-year-old site had nearly 12 million unique visitors last year alone, who spent nearly 21 million minutes reading Outkick articles.

“Even though my wife disagrees, I’ve always thought there is no better sound to wake up to in the morning than my voice. Now everyone can hear it!” shared Travis. “While I’m very excited to take the next step in the direction of Outkick dominating all forms of media, I’d like to apologize in advance for hating your favorite team and thinking they’re overrated – unless you’re an Ohio State fan, in which case, I really do hate your team and they are overrated.”

“FOX Sports Radio’s Don Martin, Scott Shapiro and I couldn’t be more excited to add Clay Travis to this already strong lineup,” stated Julie Talbott, Premiere Networks President.  “Clay is bold, opinionated and entertaining, and we’re confident Outkick the Coverage will be home to some of the most thought provoking sports-talk programming each morning, while driving immediate reaction from his large and engaged national audience.”
