Golic and Wingo, Dan Le Batard with Stugotz Join The Will Cain Show

Beginning Monday, April 2, the TV simulcasts of ESPN Radio’s weekday morning Golic and Wingo and mid-day’s The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz will join afternoon’s The Will Cain Show on ESPNEWS, making the network the TV home of ESPN’s three weekday national radio simulcasts.

Golic and Wingo has been seen on ESPN2 since its launch in November and will continue from 6 – 10 a.m. ET.  The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz has aired on ESPNU since September 2015 and is seen 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.  The Will Cain Show has aired 3 – 6 p.m. on ESPNEWS since it debuted January 2.

“We thought it important to bring the ESPN Radio simulcasts together, for one-stop-shopping, as it were, on ESPNEWS,” said Traug Keller, senior vice president, ESPN Audio.  “There are benefits in this move for advertisers and viewers alike, and with the other changes to the daily programming on our networks, the time was right.”

As I write this on 11-11-21, it's now 35 years for me at ESPN, the only real job I’ve ever had. I joined merely to help with the upcoming America’s Cup in Australia. I was told it would be for three months at all of $5.50 per hour. I like to say I simply kept showing up. I’ve worked on almost every sport, plus answered viewer calls and letters (people used to write!), given tours, written the company newsletter and once drove NASCAR’s Jeff Gordon to the local airport. My travels have been varied…I’ve been to Martinsville, Darlington, Indy and Super Bowls; the America’s Cup (all 3) in San Diego and College GameDay in the sport’s meccas such as Eugene, Auburn, Lubbock, Stillwater and more; the NBA Finals, Wimbledon (16 times and counting) and the “other Bristol,” the one with a race track in Tennessee. These days, my main areas are tennis, UFC, boxing, network-wide ratings (by month/quarter/year), and corporate communications documents, including fact sheets, chronologies, lists and nearly 35 of the Year in Review press releases. UPDATE EXACTLY ONE YEAR LATER: Today, November 11, 2022, I am retiring from ESPN -- 36 years to the day I began. As I ride off into the sunset – top down and E Street Radio blaring – I do so with so many wonderful memories, proud of my contributions and a heart full of gratitude for the opportunity.
