Clay Travis vs Matt Jones 🔥 latest battle over podcast download numbers
Our iHeart Radio #BBN god Matt Jones is a terrific radio talent. He is provocative, knowledgable, and humorous. I am a friend and fan. Matt brings a lot of attention to our business which boosts all of our stations. These same attributes can be said of Tennessee broadcast icon Clay Travis, founder of Outkick.com and a host of many sports and cultural amplifying media products. These two can't stand each other. Matt just brag tweeted about his Kentucky Sports Radio (KSR) show being #1 in America. Clay wasn't going to let that incorrect claim stand for long. This is 1 billion % not true dude. Cowherd does over 10 million downloads a month. That’s the most in iheart sports, but many iheart sports shows
Why Kentucky will say no to Joe
If you ever want to know why people in Kentucky don’t trust National Democrats and vote against them, quotes like this are proof positive I too am sick and tired of trying to defend self-righteous, elitist national Democrats https://t.co/cYDh7F0eja — Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) April 27, 2020 Joe Biden has zero chance of winning in Kentucky. Zero. The Matt Jones statement above is exactly why national Democrats have no influence in Kentucky. Arrogance, condescension, and class warfare are not paths to unity.
Cats stunned again, The Beasman wants Eddie Sutton and Kenny Sky Walker to take charge, and wants iHeart to fire Larry Minner for smirking

Matt Jones on “Burnt Hair” radio, Mitch, poverty, and Kentucky culture
This may be my favorite and funniest interview I have ever done with Terry. Take a listen if you want https://t.co/NQNSC8unHw— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) January 3, 2020 Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones popped by my radio studio today to talk about his upcoming book MITCH, PLEASE. It was more than comedy gold, Jerry! It was a great piece of broadcasting about Kentucky, politics, poverty, and promise. Matt and I trust each other enough to go deep on lots of subjects that would make other broadcasters squirm. Regardless of school rivalry silliness, I want it stated for the record (again) that I think Matt Jones is one of the smartest, most effective media personalities I've ever experienced. Great media material is always
Matt Jones knows where his bread is buttered, politics will have to wait
Happy for my broadcast brother @KySportsRadio 🎙 Matt is a quality human being who wants to improve our world. Nonetheless, I’m selfishly delighted to have him stay with @iHeartRadio. Our chat is linked below. 🙌🏾💯 https://t.co/VZpuNaOm9e— Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) November 15, 2019 Radio/TV personality Matt Jones popped by my studio today to discuss his decision to stay out of the 2020 senate race. We also talked about the invaluable commitments of family and colleagues in making professional decisions. Eventually we talked about UK's topsy turvy football season and #1 Kentucky's embarrassing loss to mid-major Evansville in Rupp Arena. Everyone wins with the Matt Jones decision. There won't be a brutal and embarrassing political campaign against Semate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's

July voices: McConnell, Bevin, Yarmuth, Matt Jones, Damion Lee, Mayor Fischer, Daniel Cameron, and American hero Jimmy Green
As "The Squad" thrills extreme left-wingers, torches traditional liberals, and irks right wingers, a prominent liberal media voice is trying to slow the roll of the Four Horsewomen of Wokeback Mountain. READ MAUREEN DOWD In the midst of political upheaval over The Squad, the president's GO BACK tweets, and racist Trump crowd chants, we've had a very strong 840WHAS interview roster over the past 10 days.

Thanks to the Senate majority leader, the Governor of Kentucky, Kentucky's 3rd district congressman, the mayor of Louisville, plus a prominent media host, former UofL basketball player, and a former football player hoping to become Kentucky's next attorney general.

Matt Jones bounced from TV until he decides whether he’ll run for senate
Lexington's WLEX-TV pulled Ky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones from his nightly TV show called Hey Kentucky. Jones suggested in an interview with me that political foes pushed the TV station to bench Jones or risk the loss of commercial revenue from PACs aiming to support other Democrats in the 2020 senate race. I did an interview with @terrymeiners about the @hey_kentucky situation. Listen if you are so inclined Also does anyone have a good Pike County dinner recommendation? https://t.co/FCpVfRtZwF— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) July 16, 2019 Journalist Al Cross says Matt Jones has an unfair advantage with his multiple media platforms, but that Jones "is not a journalist, he's an entertainer." In the 840WHAS Radio interview, Jones talked of
