"The Dan Le Batard Show" will move to 10am ET -- its new time slot on ESPN Radio. The three-hour national show will continue to be co-hosted by Le Batard and Jon "Stugotz" Weiner and will remain based in Miami. The one-hour local show will now be broadcast from 9-10am in Miami. The show will also continue to feature a lineup of regular contributors including John Amaechi, Greg Cote, Amin El Hassan, Sarah Spain and Pablo Torre.

"We continue to be flattered and flabbergasted by the amount of unrelenting support ESPN gives our absurd little circus," said Le Batard. "We can't believe that even more of 'Sports America' will now be able to laugh, think and call us fat. We look forward to making fun of the powerful, the cliche and ourselves. We are going to enjoy ourselves daily in a way that we hope people find contagious and try not to notice that this time slot gives us more markets than ever in which we can be wrong."

ESPN Senior VP/Production Business Divisions Traug Keller added, "Dan and Stugotz have cultivated a passionate following who expect cutting-edge and entertaining sports talk radio. They will not be disappointed with the time change and a new audience will now have the opportunity to experience this unique blend of make-you-think commentary and humor."

Le Batard will continue to host ESPN's "Highly Questionable" weekday afternoons at 4pm, along with his father Gonzalo "Papi" Le Batard and Bomani Jones. In 2013, Le Batard brought his local radio show heard on "The Ticket" in Miami since 2004 to ESPN Radio from 4-7pm. Le Batard joined ESPN The Magazine's staff as a contributor in February 1998.
