0

It’s official. Dan Le Batard and Jon “Stugotz” Weiner have signed long-term deals to continue as hosts of the popular daytime ESPN Radio Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, daily 10 a.m.–1 p.m. ET. Le Batard will also continue to co-host Highly Questionable alongside his father Gonzalo “Papi” Le Batard and another of a rotating crop of guest hosts. In addition, he will conduct six long-form interviews each year for multiple ESPN platforms. Weiner will make appearances on SportsCenter and continue hosting and guesting on other ESPN Radio shows.

“ESPN has given us ridiculous freedom to have fun, and made us more popular than we deserve,” said Le Batard. “A whole lot of people have supported our nonsense in a way that isn’t always easy to support but easy to grow. As an added bonus — and we’re especially thankful for this — they also pay us.”

Added Weiner, “I was hoping for the lifetime contract, to be honest. I’m a little disappointed. Maybe next time.”

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz is one of ESPN Radio’s top-rated programs, heard by 2.2 million people a week in 258 stations in 151 markets.
