ESPN Radio is poised to unveil a new national programming lineup, Front Office Sports has learned. The shake-up will impact ESPN Radio shows airing from 6 a.m. every weekday to 1 a.m. ET on the next.

In the biggest change, Clinton Yates will take over Mike Greenberg’s 10 a.m to noon ET weekday time slot. Yates, who joined ESPN in 2016, will headline a new show dubbed Clinton & Friends. He and a rotating group of regular guests will tackle the top stories of the day. The Andscape veteran has worked as a regular host on ESPN LA 710. The change will take place on Feb. 10, the day after Super Bowl LIX.

The new show led by Yates will replace Greeny. Greenberg, the host of ESPN’s weekday Get Up morning show, has picked up several additional TV gigs in recent years, including hosting Sunday NFL Countdown and leading ESPN’s coverage of the NFL Draft. Greenberg will maintain a hand in ESPN Audio, however, hosting the First Draft podcast with Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr.

In addition, ESPN Radio will debut the new Joe and Q from noon to 3 p.m. ET, with sports wagering expert Joe Fortenbaugh and Q Myers.

Meanwhile, Chris Canty will continue to cohost ESPN Radio’s morning radio show, Unsportsmanlike, with Evan Cohen and Michelle Smallmon. The former Giants lineman has become one of ESPN’s most provocative and controversial hot-take artists.

Other established shows such as Freddie & Harry, with Freddie Coleman and Harry Douglas, will continue in their current slots on ESPN Radio. The company says it reaches 32 million listeners per week across 500 stations. 

Here’s what ESPN Radio’s revamped lineup will look like when the network formally announces the changes (all times Eastern):  

  • 6–10 a.m.: Unsportsmanlike, with Chris Canty, Evan Cohen, and Michelle Smallmon
  • 10 a.m. to noon: Clinton & Friends, with Clinton Yates
  • Noon to 3 p.m.: Joe & Q, with Joe Fortenbaugh and Q Myers
  • 3–7 p.m.: Freddie & Harry, with Freddie Coleman and Harry Douglas
  • 7–10 p.m.: Amber & Ian, with Amber Wilson and Ian Fitzsimmons
  • 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.: GameNight
  • 1–6 a.m.: SportsCenter All Night
