Clay Travis and Buck Sexton to Take Over Rush Limbaugh Slot

[sean92008]

Their big debut show, and I don't tune in until the final 10 minutes. Oh well...

It is the EIB network though.

Dan Bongino took over the slot in our area

That was who took over the slot where I am, too.  They allowed the audience to have some input into it.  I had not heard him before, but he puts some substance and information into his presentation, not just hot air like others on talk.

Agree.  I’m sure PremRad cheaped out.  They also may be thinking they’ll try for a different, younger demographic, with the other guy.  Then again, they could just be their usual incompetent self.

On the cheap?  It worked with Norry, so don't rock a multi-decade business model.

Rush vs. Snorge?  Big time vs. snore time? Go big or go home.

I didn’t listen to Buck Sexton and the other guy yesterday.  Anybody going to listen today?  I think I’ll do something more entertaining.  Like listen to The Lettermen and a little Jay and The Americans.

Bongino is Cumulus, Sexton and the other dude are PremRat. PremRat is the largest syndication outfit in the U.S. and is a subsidiary of iHateMedia.  Rush was under PremRat and by far the heaviest hitter.

Cumulus Media, Inc. is the third largest owner and operator of AM and FM radio stations in the United States behind Audacy and iHateMedia, Inc.

Rush Limbaugh’s time has come and gone. 
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton has the sound of a Garage Band show.
After 19 minutes, I am bored.

Travis and Buck are like early Sonny and Cher - voices so similar they are hard for me to distinguish.

[ItsOver]

The early returns don’t sound good.  Guess I’ll stick with The Lettermen, maybe some Lobo.

“...If Rush wants to use it, fine with me,” which totally confounded her publishing company. So, we got the song back. The reason is that her dad was a huge fan of this program. Her dad’s name was Melville. His nickname was Bud, and Chrissie Hynde says that her late father, Melville, would have loved Trump’s presidency, would have absolutely adored Trump, and would have just been excited as he could be when Trump presented to me the Medal of Freedom at the State of the Union.”

I won't get into details, but she was cool.  Whoever her bassist was back in 2004, Andy Hobson, maybe, wasn't.

An observation and logical prediction:

Clay and Buck are really pushing their podcast... Really heavily...

I think they know they're not going to last. Instead of relying on over-the-air ratings, they're going to want their podcast numbers to be high so they can generate income.

I've got them on while working in my garage. It's better than nothing. Better than Sean Hannity. Not better than sleeping, nor pretty much any other bodily function, including shitting.

IHeart is really pushing podcasts.  They’ve obviously found a way to make a pile of money from them.

...or is it that their radio operations aren't making as much money? 😁

It is easier to generate money using bots who listen to the podcasts. Ratings require real people to fill out the surveys.

Yeah, the twins are pretty bland and as exciting as a Danheiser/ Wagner production, but if Snoory is any example, as long as they make Ms. Julie smile, they may be around for awhile
