"ESPN Radio has been entertaining and informing millions on their way to work every morning for years," said Traug Keller, senior vice president, ESPN Audio. "We are thrilled that Mike and Trey, two talented, informative and engaging personalities, will host the latest iteration of the sports morning show of record and be joined daily by Mike Jr. This trio will retain ESPN Radio's leadership position in the morning drive space."

Golic stated, "With Mike & Mike ending later this year, I am looking forward to the opportunity to begin the next chapter of the ESPN morning show with Trey and my son Mike. Both men will bring new and interesting voices to our morning conversations and help to create a fresh fun show for our audience. I appreciate the loyalty of those who have started their mornings with us over the years and hope they continue to do so for years to come."

Wingo added, "We're all looking for someone to grow old with...and I look forward to doing that with Golic. On a more serious note, I'm looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead and keeping ESPN radio the place to be in the morning for an entertaining start to your sports day."

The show will travel to the COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff National Championship game in Atlanta and to Minneapolis for SUPER BOWL LII. Additional details about the show, including the name, will be announced at a later date.
