iHeartMedia and Premiere Networks have renewed and expanded their long-term relationship with multimedia personality Clay Travis, keeping him behind the microphone as co-host of the nationally syndicated "The Clay & Buck Show" while adding a new partnership with his recently launched Sport & State media company.

Under the agreement, Travis will continue co-hosting "The Clay & Buck Show" with Buck Sexton. The Premiere Networks program, which marked its fifth anniversary in June, airs weekdays from noon-3pm ET and is carried by more than 550 stations nationwide.

The expanded deal also brings iHeartMedia into Travis' newest sports venture. SportandState.com launched August 19 with live digital programming weekdays from 8am-6pm ET, along with original sports content. iHeart will partner with Sport & State to develop a podcast network and handle advertising sales across its digital and web content.

"Clay Travis has built one of the most influential brands in news, talk and sports across every platform, and we're excited to continue and expand our partnership with him," said iHeartMedia President and COO Rich Bressler. "From the continued success of 'The Clay & Buck Show' to the growth of his podcast network and the launch of the Sport & State Podcast Network, this partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering compelling content at scale and reaching audiences wherever they are."

Travis is also the founder of OutKick Media and a best-selling author.

"The Clay & Buck Show" will continue to be distributed through The Clay & Buck Podcast Network, which launched in 2023 and is distributed by iHeartPodcasts. Its lineup includes podcasts hosted by Sexton, David Rutherford, Tudor Dixon, Lisa Boothe, Karol Markowicz, Ryan Girdusky, Mary Katharine Ham and Yates.
