The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz is back in studio for ESPN as networks continue to see a slow return from COVID-19 induced restrictions.
Fittingly, Miami Herald columnist Greg Cote reported details of the return. Cote is a regular guest on The Le Batard Show which features his son Chris in the “Shipping Container.” According to Cote, Le Batard, his co-host Stugotz and producer Mike Ryan are back in studio, while The Shipping Container which includes co-producers Roy Bellamy, Chris Cote, Billy Gil and Anthony Calatayud will continue working from home.
Social distancing measures will be practiced and temperatures will be taken daily as show members arrive to help maintain their health and safety. The show broadcasts from The Clevelander Hotel on South Beach, which began welcoming guests again June 5.
Since leaving the studio to broadcast remotely in mid-March, The Dan Le Batard Show simulcast on ESPNews has featured their logo and cartoon images of the cast members, created by artists Lebo and Angel Resto. Even though the show is back in studio, the animated telecast will continue until their TV crew is able to return.
