What is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton radio show?

Sexton and Travis will take over the highly-coveted radio slot that once belonged to Limbaugh for more than three decades.

They will discuss all things politics and current events, and will take call-ins from listeners.

The show will be called The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show and is expected to be heard in over hundreds of networks. 

According to KSCJ, Travis dished on the opportunity to take over Limbaugh’s radio hours, saying: “I’ve loved spending the past six years building Outkick The Coverage into one of the most-listened-to sports talk shows in the country. 

“But I couldn’t resist the opportunity to join Buck Sexton as we launch this new program in the most coveted timeslot in the talk format.

“While no one will ever replace Rush Limbaugh, Buck and I are excited to continue advancing the causes he held dear, most importantly American exceptionalism, a fervent embrace of capitalism, and a belief in a robust marketplace of ideas. 

“At a time of rabid cancel culture and toxic identity politics, we will be the voice for many who feel scared to say what they think for fear of the censorious online mob. 

Adding: “We can’t wait to get started.”
