ESPN's Jason Fitz and Sarah Spain -- who regularly appear across multiple platforms at the network -- will expand their roles beginning Tuesday, May 28. Fitz will become a regular part of ESPN Radio's weekday morning lineup, while Spain will be hosting a new weeknight radio show. The duo has hosted ESPN Radio's "Spain and Fitz" since the beginning of 2018.

Fitz -- who joined ESPN in 2016 -- will now be a regular contributor on ESPN Radio's weekday morning drive show, "Golic and Wingo" featuring Mike Golic, Trey Wingo and Mike Golic Jr. from 6-10am. Fitz will also be the regular host of ESPN Radio's "First and Last" on weekdays during the 5-6am hour. The show leads into "Golic and Wingo."

"Working with Sarah has been incredible and it has - frankly - made me better being partnered with her every day," said Fitz. "Looking ahead, I'm beyond excited to bring my energy and voice to the fans in the morning with the amazing Golic and Wingo team and before that, provide an hour of my perspective on First and Last."

Spain, the Peabody Award and Sports Emmy Award winner, is a signature voice across ESPN's many platforms including ESPN Radio, espnW and a variety of the network's television studio programming. Spain will now add to that, hosting her own, new ESPN Radio show, "Spain and Company" for three hours every Monday-Friday from 6-9pm.

"I've really enjoyed working with Jason, creating a fun and unique show based on our shared sensibilities and interests," said Spain. "Going forward, it's a thrill for me to lead the way on Spain and Company with a great cast of co-hosts. We'll be focused on the biggest national stories and giving listeners a fresh, different sound from the rest of the day's radio slate."

Co-hosts on the nightly show will include ESPN Radio's Jason Goff and ESPN college basketball analyst Jordan Cornette.
