Stugotz Signs With iHeartMedia


Jon "Stugotz" Weiner, the veteran sports personality, is returning to daily live radio in a major multiplatform deal with iHeartMedia and FOX Sports Radio. 

Starting in January 2026, he will host a new weekday afternoon show airing Monday through Friday from 3-5 p.m. ET, broadcast on more than 270 FOX Sports Radio stations nationwide from iHeartMedia's South Florida studios. The program will also stream on the FOX Sports Radio channel via iHeartRadio and FOXSportsRadio.com.

The show will serve as a live extension of his popular podcast Stugotz and Company, featuring his signature humor, bold takes, unfiltered commentary, and a mix of regular collaborators plus rotating guest co-hosts.

As part of the agreement, iHeartPodcasts has launched the Stugotz Podcast Network immediately. It includes existing shows like Stugotz and Company and God Bless Football, with plans for additional original sports talk programming. 

Content will be available on the iHeartRadio app, major podcast platforms, and Stugotz's YouTube channel.

Stugotz cited the opportunity to return to live radio while expanding his podcast presence, highlighting the massive reach of iHeartMedia and FOX Sports Radio as key factors in his decision.

FOX Sports Radio Senior VP Scott Shapiro praised Stugotz's unique, unpredictable style, calling him "one of a kind" and predicting an entertaining addition to the afternoon lineup. iHeartPodcasts President Will Pearson emphasized Stugotz's engaged audience and growth potential.

Weiner, who rose to fame co-hosting The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz on local Miami radio and later ESPN Radio (2004-2021), has built a dedicated following through podcasts and digital platforms since leaving ESPN.
