iHeartMedia and veteran sports media personality Jon "Stugotz" Weiner have entered into a long-term, multiplatform partnership that includes a new weekday afternoon program on FOX Sports Radio. Beginning in January, Stugotz will host a live show airing weekdays from 3-5pm ET, originating from iHeartMedia's South Florida studios on more than 270 stations. The program will also stream on FOX Sports Radio's iHeartRadio channel and FOXSportsRadio.com.
The new show is positioned as a live extension of Stugotz's existing podcast, Stugotz and Company, and will feature a mix of commentary, humor, and rotating guest co-hosts drawn from his regular collaborators and new contributors.
As part of the agreement, the Stugotz Podcast Network will launch immediately in partnership with iHeartPodcasts. The network will include current podcasts Stugotz and Company and God Bless Football, with additional original sports talk programming planned. Content will be distributed via the iHeartRadio app, major podcast platforms, and Stugotz's YouTube channel.
Stugotz said the decision followed extensive discussions but ultimately centered on the opportunity to return to live radio while expanding his podcast presence. He cited the reach of iHeartMedia and the FOX Sports Radio lineup as key factors in the move.
FOX Sports Radio Senior Vice President of Sports Programming Scott Shapiro said the addition brings a distinctive voice to the network's afternoon lineup, while iHeartPodcasts President Will Pearson pointed to Stugotz's established audience and engagement across sports audio.
Weiner began his career at WAXY (790 The Ticket) in Miami before teaming with Dan Le Batard in 2004 on The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz, which later achieved national distribution on ESPN Radio. Since departing ESPN in 2021, Stugotz has continued working with Le Batard under Meadowlark Media, expanding into podcasts, streaming, and digital platforms.
