Houston Radio: NFL Texans Pull Josh Innes Credentials

The Texans have revoked media credentials for KBME 790 AM talk show host Josh Innes and his producer, Jim Mudd, for "repeated violations of our media policies," a spokesperson for the team said this week.

The Houston Chronicle reports team officials would not elaborate, but a podcast of Innes' Aug. 22 broadcast reflects that Mudd broadcast live reports from a practice that was open to the public, using his cellular phone to speak with Innes on the air while describing plays and formations, and reported live on which players were and were not participating in drills.

After being informed by a team media representative that he could not talk on the phone while on the sidelines, Mudd continued talking live with Innes on the air outside the gate to the practice field and later from the spectator section.

The Texans' media policy, a copy of which is posted on the team's website and which is referenced on credentials, prohibits live broadcasts from practice, including the use of social media, and the broadcast of live interviews on social media.

Telephone calls are allowed from the sideline only after practice has concluded, and the team also limits topics that can be reported from practice, prohibiting reports on game strategy, personnel lineups and conversations on the field involving players and/or coaches.' Credentials
