Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch is reporting that ESPN is considering breaking up its Mike & Mike morning show in order to boost ratings on ESPN TV.
Deitsch states that ESPN is considering moving Mike Greenberg off the ESPN Radio/ESPN2 morning simulcast to anchor a new morning show on ESPN. Mike Golic, who has co-hosted the show with Greenberg since it debuted in October 1998 would likely remain with a new co-host. Deitsch mentions Golic’s son Mike Golic Jr. who already co-hosts First & Last with Robin Lundberg on ESPN Radio from 4-6am eastern as a possibility.
