The Tony Bruno Award is presented to the individual who currently hosts on the national stage and exemplifies an ability to “cut through by displaying a unique, unafraid, and unfiltered approach.” FOX Sports Radio morning host and Outkick The Coverage creator Clay Travis has been named the inaugural winner of the award.
Tony Bruno occupied prime real estate on three national sports radio networks. From ESPN Radio to FOX Sports Radio to Sporting News Radio, Bruno made his mark on the national stage by providing a mixture of sports and guy talk, and delivering insightful opinions and unfiltered commentaries.
“When you think about national personalities who are cutting through the clutter by delivering a unique, unfiltered, and unafraid presentation, few fit that description better than Clay Travis,” said Barrett Sports Media President Jason Barrett. “Considering how Tony Bruno distinguished himself from others during his career by embracing similar traits, it’s a pleasure to pass the baton to Clay who not only epitomizes the award, but is leading the charge to keep national sports radio interesting and entertaining.”
Travis expressed his appreciation: “I’m honored to win this award because since I started writing online in 2004 I’ve tried to embrace four key tenets in my work: be smart, be original, be funny, and be authentic. When you combine all four of those attributes I think you point towards one overarching theme — being fearless.”
Due to a previously planned family vacation Travis will not be in attendance at the BSM Summit to pick up his award. However, accommodations are being made for him to address the room of attendees.
Tickets for the 2019 BSM Summit on February 21-22 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles are on sale to media members for $249.99. For further information visit https://bsmsummit.com.
