The Rush Limbaugh replacements are in, as Clay Travis and Buck Sexton will take over his three-hour conservative talk radio show time slot, said distributor Premiere Networks. The duo will serve up similar right-wing fare, tackling news stories of the day, politics and current events, peppered with call-ins from listeners and humor. Premiere Networks hopes the younger voices will bring something new to talk radio, while also continuing on in Mr. Limbaugh’s legacy. The program, slated to begin airing June 21, will be called “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.” It is expected to air around the country, from noon to 3 p.m. ET, on hundreds of stations.

Dan Bongino has been put in that time slot here.
Buck Sw ton? Ugh.
Who is Clay Travis?
Bongino is going head to head with the here.
So far.. I like bongino
Yes—be aware everyone:
Cumulus/Westwood One had put Bongino
on about 100+ stations including those
they own
Premiere/iHeart Radio has announced
Travis and Sexton and no doubt many of
their talk stations will air it.
I think Bongino is on the iHeart
app and site already.
Some stations may be changing formats
over the coming Mem. Day holiday weekend.
Cumulus/W1 has already changed some of
its stations to a talk format including
Bongino
Think he had a show called Outkick the
Coverage
SAME HERE IN NW Florida..............
Rush was one of a kind. Have zero expectations for anything like Rush other than the noon to 3 time slot. That is where all similarities end. Now, with that said, it is certainly possible to have a decent show. No idea about this pair. I’ve heard Sexton before, nothing amazing there. Never heard of this other guy.
I will miss listening to the radio during Rush’s slot.
Not impressed with Sexton. Have no idea who Travis is.
I miss Rush every day.
Wiki: Clay Travis (born April 6, 1979) is an American sports journalist, writer, lawyer, radio host, television analyst, media personality and founder of OutKick
Never heard of Clay Travis, and Buck Sexton I do not like, but can’t remember exact thing is was about. Is he a never-Trumper?
“Travis said he voted for former President Barack Obama twice and never voted Republican. In 2016, Travis voted for Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party.”

Hopefully, I just made a mistake.
No doubt, somebody made a mistake.
These guys must feel like Letterman thinking he could have replaced Carson.
Just call it the CIA show instead. Buck hasn’t earned this slot. No idea who the other guy is.
the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is going to need a short name. You could almost squeeze a 15 second sponsored commercial into that airtime.
I’m selling my AM transistor radio on eBay. It’s over.
I thought it was Bongino?
I seem to be in the minority here, but I really like Buck Sexton. I have never listened to Clay Travis much. There will never be an ElRushbo, but they have to put someone in there.
For the record, I like Bongino also, but his radio show is hard to listen to sometimes as he tends to grind topics to death and spends too much time explaining stuff that almost everyone in the audience understands easily.
Bongino was from a different network that was smart enough to jump in quickly to try and corner the time slot of Rush.
