Mike & Mike (formerly Mike and Mike in the Morning) is an American sports-talk radio show hosted by Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg on ESPN Radio and simulcast on television, normally on ESPN2, and acts as the morning show for both the radio and television sides of the production. If ESPN is broadcasting a live sporting event during the show's timeslot, SportsCenter will air on ESPN2, and the show's simulcast will therefore then air on ESPNews. If both ESPN and ESPN2 are showing live sporting events, Sportscenter will air on ESPNews and the show will air on either ESPNU or ESPN Classic. Outside of a few radio stations which are able to move or decline carriage of the show for their own local morning productions (or for daytime-only operations, may not be able to carry), Mike & Mike is effectively a compulsory element of the ESPN Radio schedule which all affiliates of the network are required to carry.
The show primarily focuses on the day's biggest sports topics and the humorous banter between the Mikes. On March 6, 2015, the duo celebrated 15 years of doing the show together.
On May 7, 2007, the show moved from its longtime radio studio home to the television studio used for Sunday NFL Countdown and Baseball Tonight, and began broadcasting in high-definition in 2007 as well.
A daily "best-of" show aired daily on ESPN2 and a weekly radio aired Saturday mornings at 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and then moved to 5 a.m. ET before being discontinued in October 2009. The radio version of "best of" returned in February 2010 in the 5am timeslot. In addition, there is a "best-of" podcast distributed every weekday as well. The show reairs on ESPNEWS immediately after the live simulcast.
