Overview

  • ESPN announced on Monday that the father‑son team will launch The Golics under a multi‑year deal, debuting weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on August 3.
  • The live show will simulcast on the ESPN App and each episode will be posted to major podcast platforms after broadcast.
  • The Golics follows ESPN Radio’s morning show UnSportsmanLike and sits ahead of The Rich Eisen Show, while Matt & Myron will move to weekdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Mike Golic Sr. returns to the network where he spent 25 years on programs such as Mike & Mike and Golic & Wingo, and Mike Golic Jr. comes back after stops at DraftKings and FanDuel and ongoing work with TNT Sports.
  • ESPN executives framed the hire as a way to stabilize and monetize the midday slot by leveraging the duo’s long‑standing chemistry and cross‑platform recognition, and both hosts will appear across ESPN platforms beyond the radio show.
