Overview
- ESPN announced on Monday that Mike Golic Sr. and Mike Golic Jr. will host The Golics weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET under a multi‑year agreement, with the show launching on August 3 and episodes simulcast on the ESPN App and posted to major podcast platforms.
- The Golics will follow UnSportsmanLike in the refreshed weekday lineup, with The Rich Eisen Show remaining at noon to 3 p.m. and Matt & Myron moving from weekends to weekdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.; the rest of the schedule largely stays the same.
- Mike Golic Sr. returns to the network where he spent 25 years (1995–2020) and co‑hosted Mike & Mike, while Golic Jr. previously worked at ESPN from 2015–2022 and both spent recent years at DraftKings and FanDuel before this deal.
- ESPN framed the hire as a way to restore a familiar voice and steady affiliates, and the network said both Golics will make appearances across other ESPN platforms in addition to their daily show.
- The move reflects a broader industry pattern of bringing legacy talent back to radio to rebuild audience trust, and it gives ESPN a sellable late‑morning block that could strengthen affiliate advertising and digital engagement.
