Kentucky pregame show broadcasts from Fan Fest before South Carolina matchup
The KSR Pregame Show is airing live from UK Basketball's Fan Fest in Lexington from 1 to 2 p.m. Ryan Lemond hosts with Jeff Drummond and Drew Franklin before No. 24 Kentucky plays at South Carolina. Kickoff is set for 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
The KSR Pregame Show will originate from UK Basketball’s Fan Fest at Lexington’s Central Bank Center, running from 1 to 2 p.m. Ryan Lemond leads the broadcast, with Jeff Drummond and Drew Franklin alongside him. Although the setting is a basketball event, the program is expected to focus mainly on football, with some basketball discussion possible.
Listeners can call (859) 280-2287 to ask questions or give predictions, including from Columbia. The No. 24 Wildcats face South Carolina at 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network. Radio options include 630 WLAP, 840 WHAS, and the UK Sports Network; streaming is available via iHeartRadio or WLAP.com.
This pregame broadcast may give Kentucky fans an accessible way to follow team news and connect before a road SEC game. Local radio, streaming, and call-in participation could strengthen community ties among supporters, especially those unable to attend in Columbia. The overlap with UK Basketball’s Fan Fest may also expose football listeners to basketball programming, potentially broadening audience interest across the university’s sports. Any broader societal impact may be limited mostly to sports audiences.
