The Tony D and Papi Show was a sports radio program in Colorado Springs, Colorado which originally aired on KKML (1300 AM). It is the only live and local radio show in Colorado Springs, and has taken home four different "Best Of" awards from the local newspaper. First broadcast in November 2004, it began with one host Tony Desiere as the Tony D Show. In January 2005, Tony D was joined by former stand-up comic Papi Sorrelis, he has since left the show.

A unique feature of the show is that repeat callers are given their own monikers.

In 2005, the show won Gold Medals as Best Talk Show and Best Radio Hosts in Colorado Springs from The Independent. Tony D repeated as Gold winner in both of those categories.

On January 1, 2007, KKML became an ESPN affiliate and was renamed, ESPN 1300 The Sports Animal.
