It's the end of an era at ESPN as Mike Golic's incredible two-decade run at the sports network appears to be over. 

ESPN released a new schedule that will begin Aug. 17, and Golic’s current radio show with Trey Wingo did not make the cut.

Golic’s former "Mike & Mike" partner Mike Greenberg will return to anchor ESPN's mid-morning TV program, "Get Up," and will also lead a new two-hour radio show that starts at noon Eastern.

“Our new lineup will provide sports fans informative and engaging content throughout the week from hosts who all have radio experience,” Norby Williamson, ESPN’s executive vice president, said in a press release. “They know how to connect with fans and keep them invested in the programming. Our listeners will hear diverse perspectives on key topics from some of the most talented, knowledgeable and contemporary voices in the industry.”

Greenburg and Golic spent nearly 18 years on the popular morning radio show "Mike & Mike." The duo split up three years ago.

Golic has been on ESPN since 1998 and has racked up an estimated net worth of $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The New York Post reports that Golic's contract with ESPN is up at the end of this year.

Following the news of Golic's departure, many ESPN employees shared their memories of the radio host.
