Michael Kay’s ESPN radio show ending afternoon run after 22 years

It’s the end of an era at ESPN New York. 

“The Michael Kay Show” will conclude its run in afternoon drive Dec. 13, The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand reports. 

Kay will remain on the station but move to a solo show in middays, while his co-hosts in afternoon drive, Don La Greca and Peter Rosenberg, are expected to remain in the slot and be joined by Alan Hahn, according to the report. 

The contracts for the new afternoon drive program have not been finalized. 

It is still to be determined whether YES Network will simulcast Kay’s new show and/or the program in afternoon drive. 

There has been a synergy with Kay as he has called Yankees games on the network since it launched in 2002. 

He had been the radio broadcaster alongside John Sterling from 1992-2001 prior to becoming the TV voice. 

The move to middays, while less financially lucrative, gives Kay a better work-life balance. 

Hahn previously had been on-air in middays with Bart Scott, who is expected now to move from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and be paired with Dan Graca. 

This show would replace Mike Greenberg’s national ESPN Radio show on the New York airwaves. 

Rick DiPietro and Dave Rothenberg will remain in morning drive in the lineup shakeup.
