ESPN Radio will debut on new weekday lineup on Monday, February 10 with the launch of new shows from 10am-12pm and 12-3pm.
Clinton Yates will host “Clinton & Friends” from 10am-12pm Eastern replacing “Greeny” hosted by Mike Greenberg. Yates will be joined by a rotating group of regular guests “to provide unique insights and perspectives on the top stories of the day, blending breaking news, and audience interaction”. Yates has been with ESPN in multiple roles including columnist, radio host at KSPN Los Angeles, and television analyst since 2016. He previously was a columnist for the Washington Post, news anchor for Pacifica Foundation’s WPFW Washington, commentator for 103.5 WTOP, and co-host ESPN Radio’s “The Morning Roast” weekend morning show.
With Chris Carlin’s move to middays at “ESPN New York” 880 WHSQ, Joe Fortenbaugh will now be joined by Q Myers for “Joe & Q” from 12-3pm Eastern. Myers, who is based at ESPN’s Las Vegas studios, moves up from hosting “GameNight” in evenings.
The remainder of the lineup remains the same with “Unsportsmanlike” hosted by Evan Cohen, Chris Canty and Michelle Smallmon remaining from 6-10am Eastern, Freddie Coleman and Harry Douglas from 3-7pm, Amber Wilson and Ian Fitzsimmons from 7-10pm, and “GameNight” with a rotating group of hosts including Emmett Golden, Victoria Arlen, Courtney Cronin, Myron Medcalf, Aaron Goldhammer, and Gabe Neitzel from 10pm-1am.
Greenberg, the longtime host of “Mike & Mike In The Morning”, will give up his daily radio show due to his expanded roles on other ESPN platforms including hosting “Get Up” and “NFL Sunday Countdown”. He will also continue to host the “First Draft” podcast with Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates.
ESPN Executive Vice President, Executive Editor, Sports News and Entertainment David Roberts said, “With the additions of Clinton & Friends and Joe & Q, ESPN Radio continues to deliver compelling personalities and insightful conversation that resonate with sports fans nationwide. We’re excited to expand our talent roster and provide a dynamic listening experience for our audience.”
