THE CREW

    SportsTalk is hosted by Bo Mattingly, a 13-year Radio and TV broadcasting veteran, who has a reputation for breaking the big stories, and being close to the pulse of the program.  Bo will be joined in studio throughout the week by Clay Henry and Dudley Dawson who co-hosted Sports Rap with Chuck Barrett for 12 years and cover Razorback sports daily.

    Clay Henry—Clay is the publisher of Hawgs Illustrated magazine, a full color, four-color slick magazine that is weekly during football season with a total of 20 issues over the year. Hawgs Illustrated began in the Spring of 1992 when Henry left after 14 years with the Tulsa World to become publisher and editor. Henry, a Little Rock native, also developed the website at Hawgsillustrated.com and has been doing talk radio for the last 12 years.

    Dudley Dawson-Dudley has been in and around the University of Arkansas sports scene for the past 27 years.  He began as a graduate assistant for the Razorback basketball team under Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson before graduating with a degree in broadcast journalism and going to work for the Hot Springs Sentinel Record. He worked there for a year before returning to Fayetteville to the Northwest Arkansas Times, where he worked as a sports writer from 1987-2001.

Dudley has worked for Hawgs Illustrated since its inception and became full-time at the magazine in 2001. He has also been a co-host on both Sports Rap with Chuck Barrett and Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly since 1996.

Positive Talk

Spinning false information into truth is not something you will find on SportsTalk.  But leveraging the positive will be a staple.  Too much negative weighs us all down.
