ESPN 100.9-FM (WLUN) is an award-winning 24/7 sports radio station. The station was purchased by MBF Enterprises on March 25, 2008 from the Last Bastion Trust. The station was previously owned by Citadel Broadcasting, operating as a simulcast of classic rock station WILZ-FM. The Michigan Baseball Foundation, the 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that owns Dow Diamond, helped finance the purchase. The Foundation also funded the construction of the radio studio in the Dow Diamond press box, overlooking the baseball field, which was completed in January 2009. These steps, made by the Michigan Baseball Foundation, are consistent with the Foundation’s stated mission of promoting regional economic development. ESPN 100.9-FM carries ESPN Radio’s flagship weekday programs Golic & Wingo (6-10am), featuring former NFL lineman Mike Golic and NFL anchor Trey Wingo; The Dan Le Batard Show (10am-12pm), featuring Dan Le Batard and Jon “Stugotz” Weiner. For six hours each weekday afternoon, ESPN 100.9-FM shifts to local sports talk. X’s & Bro’s airs from 12-3pm with longtime sports radio host Sean Baligian hosting his show from the Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit. The HUGE Show, hosted by Michigan sports talk show host Bill Simonson, can be heard from 3-6pm. ESPN 100.9-FM also produces its own weekly show The Offseason Podcast hosted by Matt DeVries. He’s joined by Brad Tunney & Blake Froling for a new episode each week which can be downloaded on iTunes, SoundCloud or ESPN1009.com. Segments from the current week’s episode can also be heard on the radio station on Friday nights from approximately 10-11:30pm. Since 2016, the station has received numerous Broadcast Excellence Awards from the Michigan Association of Broadcasters in categories such as Play-by-Play, Sports, Commerical, Marketing Materials & Promos, Feature/Use of Medium, and New Media. At the 2017 Broadcast Excellence Awards in Lansing, ESPN 100.9-FM was named a “Station of the Year” by the MAB.
