FanDuel Sports Network has revealed that it will be launching its new weekday afternoon program, Golic & Golic, on Monday, June 9. The show will air across the FanDuel Sports Network portfolio of regional sports networks and function as a cornerstone of the network lineup.
Mike Golic Sr. and Mike Golic Jr., both of whom worked together on DraftKings Network and ESPN Radio hosting sports talk programming, will be serving as hosts for the project. The show will also be accessible through Amazon’s Prime Video, along with additional platforms that are going to be announced.
The guest lineup for the first week of the program will lead off with Notre Dame head football coach Marcus Freeman. Throughout the week, the show will interview three league commissioners – Adam Silver of the National Basketball Association; Gary Bettman of the National Hockey League and Greg Sankey of the Southeastern Conference. Furthermore, John Calipari, the head men’s basketball coach for the University of Arkansas, will also be joining the program on the Wednesday edition of the show.
“Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. are two of the most authentic and respected voices in sports media,” Norby Williamson, president of production and programming for FanDuel Sports Network, said in a statement released in April. “Their chemistry is unmatched, their perspective is rooted in experience, and their ability to connect with fans is what makes Golic & Golic such a perfect lead-in for our live event coverage. I’m excited to see this show complement our pro product offering across our network’s many touchpoints, especially as we incorporate the authentic voices that cover our teams to give the show a truly distinctive feel.”
The two-hour program will air on weekdays from 3 to 5 p.m. EST, and it will also re-air daily and be available on-demand through the FanDuel Sports Network app. The premiere takes place one month after FanDuel Sports Network revealed that it had doubled its subscriber base in eight weeks and is operating under a new management structure as well.
