iHeartMedia has announced a multi-platform deal with author and personality Jon ‘Stugotz’ Weiner that will include hosting 3-5pm weekdays on Fox Sports Radio.

Weiner, who will be based at iHeartMedia’s Miami studios, previously served as Program Director and co-host of the Dan Le Batard Show at Entercom’s “790 The Ticket” WAXY Miami. The show is depicted as a live radio extension of his podcast “Stugotz and Company” with a rotating group of co-hosts. IHeartMedia will also launch the Stugotz Podcast Network with “Stugotz and Company” and “God Bless Football” along with additional shows to launch.

Stugotz said, “There was a ton of interest and a lot of great conversations, but it became obvious to me rather quickly that iHeart and FOX Sports Radio were going to be the landing spot. I miss doing live radio, and I was looking for a partner to grow my two existing podcasts and help us build out a network. To be able to partner with the biggest and best digital company on the planet – and host a daily, two-hour live radio show with two Hall of Famers, Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd, as lead-ins – is a place, quite frankly, I never imagined arriving at, and an opportunity I wasn’t going to pass up.”

Fox Sports Radio SVP/Sports Programming Scott Shapiro commented, “This is a very exciting day for iHeart and FOX Sports Radio. I can assure you there is no one in the world like Stugotz — and I’m not entirely sure whether that’s a compliment or not. His uniquely bold, and sometimes outrageous, takes on the world of sports and culture will create a wildly unpredictable yet always entertaining destination for sports fans everywhere. Cannonball!”

Weiner will fill 2/3 of the afternoon timeslot being vacated by Doug Gottlieb.
