The simulcast on YES opens with a sports report from Chris Shearn, who also serves as producer for the simulcast (and who is also a favorite with Francesa and Russo), and usually plays music to block the advertising that is sold on WFAN (YES often returns from commercial before WFAN does). When Francesa and Russo are out of the studio, these outside shows are also recorded live by YES. Beginning in 2007, some of the outside shows have aired in high definition as YES launched a full-time HD channel.

During WFAN's 20/20 Sports Flash reports, a selection of sports news is on the screen. Notably, the lead story onscreen (but not always in the actual report), is usually the Yankees or Nets game that will be airing on YES or WWOR-TV later that evening. YES then broadcasts the traffic report during rush-hour, but does not have a graphic to illustrate the report.

Since the broadcast on YES is a simulcast, there have been times when the show has been delayed or pre-empted on WFAN, usually due to New York Mets baseball. Francesa and Russo have never done a show specifically for YES, so the network usually shows reruns of its original programming like Yankees Classics , Yankeeography or CenterStage in its place.

When both Francesa and Russo have the day off, YES does not broadcast the show, although other WFAN hosts, usually led by Joe Benigno, replace Francesa and Russo as the hosts of the Mike and the Mad Dog show, complete with theme music. This is apparently because Francesa and Russo are paid additional salary by YES for the show, while other WFAN hosts are not. YES did simulcast with the substitute hosts in its first couple of years.

WFAN's recent contract with YES to simulcast Mike and the Mad Dog ended at the end of 2006. Despite the Cory Lidle controversy and some negative things that Russo said about the Yankee organization in the summer of 2006 (including a heated on-air discussion with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman), the contract was renewed as part of the Yankees' radio deal with WCBS which, like WFAN, is owned by CBS Radio. It should also be noted that there have been a few occasions where YES has ended a simulcast in progress due to comments that may have been too critical of YES or the Yankees management. The two sometimes joke about the incidents when they get started talking about YES producers on the show or poke fun at team owner George Steinbrenner's feud with former Yankee bench coach Don Zimmer. Still, Francesa and Russo say that YES does not censor them on-air. Both they and YES officials have commented that the simulcast likely would have been canceled quickly if YES forced them to not criticize Yankees or Nets management.

Radio affiliates outside of New York City

On July 16, 2007, WQYK in Tampa, Florida began carrying Mike and the Mad Dog , and broadcasts the show from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.. WQYK also broadcasts select New York Yankees games which do not conflict with home Tampa Bay Rays games. Tampa is the permanent residence of George Steinbrenner, as well as the spring training home of the Yankees, and the location of the Class-A Tampa Yankees of the Florida State League. WQYK, like WFAN, is owned by CBS Radio.

Between 2004 and 2007, WROW in Albany, New York simulcasted the show. WROW aired the show from 2:00 until 6:00 p.m. Whenever it was either delayed or pre-empted, the station aired a montage of interviews, known as The Best of Mike and the Mad Dog , or alternate news-talk programming such as Dennis Prager. In November 2007, it was announced that WROW would no longer broadcast the program and would replace the duo with Mark Williams.

Theme song

Each program starts with a theme song jingle produced by JAM Creative Productions. The jingle package has been used for nearly the entire run of the show (originally, the theme from the Blues Brothers was used) and it is the only WFAN show not to use the station's standard jingle package. Lyrics below:

Mike and the Mad Dog...Sports Radio 66, W-F-A-N

They're talkin' sports, goin' at it as hard as they can,

It's Mike and the Mad Dog on the FAN

Nothing can get by 'em, turn it on and try 'em, Mike and the Mad Dog, W-F-A-N

There was an awkward moment when Jon Bon Jovi was being interviewed for an unrelated topic. At the end of the interview Jon Bon Jovi half-jokingly remarked that they needed a new theme song and that he would write and record them a new one.
