Golic and Wingo

Golic and Wingo was an American sports-talk radio show that was hosted by Mike Golic, Sr., his son Mike Jr. and co-host Trey Wingo that aired on the ESPN networks. The show was carried on ESPN Radio and simulcast on television on ESPNEWS since April 2, 2018 (prior to this, it was simulcast on ESPN2), and acted as the morning show for both the radio and television sides of the production. Outside of a few radio stations that were able to move or decline carriage of the show for their own local morning productions (or for daytime-only operations, may not be able to carry), Golic and Wingo was effectively a compulsory element of the ESPN Radio schedule, which all affiliates of the network were required to carry and is the premier morning show on ESPN broadcast.
