NEW YORK—December 22, 2025--iHeartMedia, the leading audio company in America, and veteran sports media personality and best-selling author Jon “Stugotz” Weiner today announced a long-term, multiplatform partnership.

As part of the agreement, Stugotz will launch a new weekday afternoon program on FOX Sports Radio in January. Originating from iHeartMedia’s studios in South Florida, the program will broadcast Monday through Friday from 3 - 5 p.m. ET on more than 270 stations nationwide.

The program, which will also be available on FOX Sports Radio’s channel on iHeartRadio and on FOXSportsRadio.com, will feature his signature mix of hot takes, humor and unfiltered opinions as he fearlessly tackles the world of sports or whatever crosses his mind. Designed as a live radio extension of his popular podcast “Stugotz and Company,” the show will bring together his regular crew along with a rotating cast of guest co‑hosts, blending old friends and new voices.

Additionally, the Stugotz Podcast Network will launch with iHeartPodcasts, effective immediately. The network will feature an upcoming slate of original sports-talk programming, including Stugotz’s podcasts “Stugotz and Company” and “God Bless Football.” Listen on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard, in addition to Stugotz’s YouTube channel.

“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,” said Stugotz. “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.”

“This is a very exciting day for iHeart and FOX Sports Radio,” said Scott Shapiro, FOX Sports Radio Senior Vice President of Sports Programming. “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!”

“Stugotz has built one of the most passionate and engaged communities in sports audio, and bringing that energy into a larger multiplatform universe is exactly the kind of expansion we love to champion,” said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the iHeartPodcasts family and excited to grow his audience with our unmatched scale and reach.”
