Future of Michael Kay Show Uncertain

The future of 'The Michael Kay Show' on ESPN New York is uncertain as contract negotiations with host Michael Kay are ongoing, with his current deal expiring in mid-December. While ESPN is keen to retain Kay, there has yet to be a formal offer, leading to speculation about a potential shift to a solo midday show from 1-3 p.m. Kay's longtime co-hosts, Don La Greca and Peter Rosenberg, may not continue in their current roles, with La Greca potentially pairing with Alan Hahn in the afternoon slot. Despite these changes, Kay will remain the voice of the New York Yankees on the YES Network. This situation mirrors previous negotiations where Kay was persuaded to stay with a lucrative deal, raising the stakes for ESPN as the station navigates its programming future. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact New York sports radio, marking a potential shift in the landscape that Kay and his team have dominated for nearly two decades.
