Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Extend With Premiere Networks

Clay Travis has signed a renewed and expanded deal with Premiere Networks and iHeartMedia, locking in The Clay & Buck Show as a long-term weekday fixture and a core piece of the company’s talk-radio lineup.

The program, co-hosted with Buck Sexton from 12 noon to 3p.m. Eastern, is Premiere’s formal successor to Rush Limbaugh’s long-running show. After Limbaugh’s death, his audience fragmented across multiple hosts; The Clay & Buck Show remains the designated anchor and is not expected to change in composition.

Julie Talbott, president of Premiere Networks, called Travis “one of the most dynamic and influential voices in Talk radio” and said the company was “thrilled to continue our long-term partnership.” 

She cited his ability to engage audiences, drive conversation, and deliver results for stations and advertisers.

Rich Bressler, president and chief operating officer of iHeartMedia, pointed to Travis’s brand across news, talk, and sports. He highlighted the radio show’s continued success, growth of Travis’s podcast network, and the launch of the Sport & State Podcast Network as reasons to expand the partnership and reach audiences “wherever they are.”

The Clay & Buck Show marked its fifth anniversary in June. 

It is also distributed through The Clay & Buck Podcast Network, which launched in March 2023 and is handled by iHeartPodcasts.

Travis, a conservative commentator aligned with Republican politics, founded OutKick Media, which blends sports, pop culture, and political coverage. The new agreement keeps that profile inside iHeart’s Premiere system rather than shifting the franchise to another distributor.
