If you didn’t hear the news, ESPN’s popular morning radio show — Mike and Mike — is headed for big changes at the end of the year. Mike Greenberg, known as “Greeny”, will be getting his own morning show on the main ESPN channel, leaving his co-host — Mike Golic — in the lurch.

Golic will go continue to host a similar show alongside Trey Wingo, set to air in the same time slot — 6am-10am — as the former version. Besides Wingo, Golic’s son, Mike Golic Jr., will join the show for the 6am to 7am hour each day.

The move didn’t come as a surprise when ESPN announced it at their upfront presentation earlier this month, as rumors have been swirling for nearly a year. It’s a risky move for the network, as Mike and Mike was the go-to move for nearly half-a-million people every morning — but one that is necessary due to the failing ratings an out-of-date SportsCenter program provides.

So with “Greeny” getting a promotion, Golic is definitely getting a demotion…Let’s face it, people aren’t tuning in to see Mike Golic talk sports, they’re tuning in to watch Mike and Mike talk sports — the name is more than half the battle.

**It should be noted that the name will most likely stay the same, since technically it will be Mike and Mike still — Golic and his son— albeit for only one of the four hours.**

Needless to say, Golic is not happy…and he made that clear when the two confirmed the split on air.

Roll the tape…
