Dan Le Batard TV Simulcast Launches May 19

FUSION Monday announced that “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz" will premiere on the network May 19 at 4:00 p.m., ET. Live from Miami Beach’s Clevelander Hotel, the three-hour simulcast of the ESPN Radio show will bolster FUSION’s live programming on weekday afternoons from 4:00-7:00 p.m., ET.

Dan Le Batard and his co-host Stugotz (Jon Weiner) bring their unique blend of self-deprecating humor, insightful guests, and thoughtful conversation to a national audience every weekday. Rotating guest co-hosts, including Bomani Jones and Miami Herald writer Greg Cote, often join to provide listeners with a slightly different experience every day.

"Dan and Stugotz are an extremely engaging pair, and we are thrilled that they are bringing their unique flare to FUSION daily line-up," said FUSION Chief Programming Officer Wade Beckett. “Dan’s smart-yet-irreverent take on sports and the stories making headlines perfectly aligns with FUSION’s desire to present this young, diverse generation with an array of dynamic voices that have an authentic point of view and, at the end of the day, are just are fun to watch.”


"The Dan Le Batard Show" joins “Mike & Mike” (ESPN2), “The Herd” (ESPNU), “SVP & Russillo” (ESPNEWS) and “The Paul Finebaum Show” (SEC Network) as the latest ESPN Radio show to be nationally televised.

Stugotz has served as co-host on “The Dan LeBatard Show” since 2004. A sports broadcasting veteran of more than 15 years, Stugotz counters host LeBatard’s thoughtful insights with self-deprecating humor and passionate takes on the latest sports headlines. Stugotz received his bachelor’s degree in English and communications from Clark University in 1995.
