JUST IN: Rush Limbaugh’s Timeslot Will Reportedly Be Taken Over by Conservative Duo Clay Travis and Buck Sexton

Conservative pundits Clay Travis and Buck Sexton will soon take over Rush Limbaugh’s radio timeslot, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

“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,” the Journal reported.

“We’re not going to replace Rush Limbaugh, we’re going to have an evolution of the show with fresh voices – those that grew up on Rush and admired him,” president of iHeart Media’s Premiere Networks Julie Talbott said, according to the Journal.

Travis is the founder of conservative sports website Outkick, which was recently acquired by Fox News.

“No one ever replaces a legend, and Rush Limbaugh is the most influential and listened to radio voice across multiple generations,” Travis said in a post on OutKick. “But the battles Rush fought aren’t ending. If anything, they’re just becoming more intense. And I think intense and rigorous and intelligent debate has never been more important in this country than it is right now.”

Sexton is a former CIA intelligence officer-turned-conservative commentator, podcaster, and radio host. He also hosts a nightly show on conservative digital platform The First.

“Needless to say, I could not be more excited, @ClayTravis and I are going to do a great show together. Get ready for it,” Sexton posted on Twitter, along with an American flag emoji.

Since Limbaugh’s death in February, Premiere Networks has been airing reruns of segments of Limbaugh’s show in the noon to 3 p.m. timeslot, with guest host commentary between clips.

content that draws in listeners

That is it. The radio has to be compelling. Rush was someone I hated to miss. Levin is just so smart. Chris Plante does his homework and is funny. Hannity bores me.

I listen to a lot more Classical music nowadays. I miss Rush

The saddest part of Rush moving on to the other side, is that he will vote Democrat from now on.

True what you say.

Steyn may be jailed somewhere, given all his energy, mouth, and what for a time seemed his endless litigation.

Polymath, that guy, and just damned fun to be around, even just on the air.

“I know Mark Stein isn’t native born but he is the only guy in the country who can at least hold a candle to Rush’s boundless intelligence, biting tongue, and non-stop terrific, acid sense of humor.”

I agree with you 1000% on this! I actually preferred listening to MS over Rush!

I wonder what is in Mark Steyn’s future. I cannot believe he does not have a radio show.

I was hoping for Wayne Allen root. The guy never goes south very well informed and always optimistic. Dennis Prager would have been fantastic also

Still remember Sexton saying in his podcast during the 2016 campaign that Trump supporters “cannot string more than two syllables together.”

“Sexton is a former CIA intelligence officer-turned-conservative commentator”

So they’re replacing Rush with a disinformation agent, is what it sounds like to me.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

agree with you on that

in my local market, bongino has been filling the rush time slot and doing a great job.

much better show in many ways, imo

Give the slot to Steve Deace from the Blaze. His show is both entertaining and informative.

Who is this Mark Stein you speak of?
I love Mark Steyn who deserves a primetime show of his own!)

Also these 2 hosts don’t seem like they be the sort to have David Horowitz on (via tape or on the phone/studio) to add perspective and call out the radial left as he’s known it for over a half a century.

So what? I could post a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton hanging out with Trump.
