RALPH HACKER
Ledford's sidekick on Wildcat broadcasts is Ralph Hacker, president and general manager of radio station WVLK in Lexington. Hacker is now in his 14th season as the color analyst on the UK Network, offering his knowledge to the broadcasts, as well as handling all pre-game. halftime and post-game programs.
THE WILDCATS ON RADIO
A vital part of the Kentucky basketball tradition through the years has been the ability of the legions of Big Blue fans to "catch the Cats on the radio." Listening to Kentucky basketball has been a tradition in the Commonwealth for decades. Nearly every Kentuckian has fond memories of sitting around a radio on a cold winter night, living and dying with the fortunes of the Big Blue.
As usual, the excitement and action of Kentucky's 83rd season of basketball will be broadcast to fans across the country on one of the largest college networks in the nation. The UK Basketball Network features 96 stations in six states, including Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia. Tennessee and Arkansas.
Anchoring the coverage once again is the powerful 50.000-watt clear channel "voice of the Wildcats," WHAS in Louisville, which for more than 50 years has beamed Kentucky basketball to at least 40 states.
"I can distinctly remember listening to the Cats on WHAS when I was a kid growing up in Kansas," said new UK coach Eddie Sutton the day he was hired by Kentucky. "Our radio broadcasts have helped make us the premier program in the country by providing us with a national audience for a number of years."
The network also features a second 50.000-watt station in WCKY in Cincinnati, as well as ten 100,000-watt FM stations throughout the state.
The rights to Wildcat basketball are held by Kentucky Network. Inc.. of Louisville, which is currently in its sixth season of broadcasting UK sports.
The UK Network presents one of the most comprehensive lineups of programs on game night, starting 1V2 hours before tipoff with a statewide call-in show, followed by Cawood's Look at Basketball, the Coach Eddie Sutton Pre-Game Show, Wildcat Warmup and the game play-byplay. Following the game, the network presents the Wildcat Wrapup, Wildcat Scoreboard and the Coach Eddie Sutton Post-Game Show.
CAWOOD LEDFORD
Now in his 33rd season of broadcasting Wildcat games, Cawood Ledford is truly a legend in the Commonwealth. In many drug stores and barber shops across the state, conversations in the winter begin with. "Well. Cawood said last night. . ."
His brisk, informative style has won him a spot in the hearts of Ken-tuckians for years and to many people who never have a chance to see the Cats in person. Cawood IS Kentucky basketball. As one station promoted him once, "When you listen to Kentucky basketball, you don't just hear it, you SEE it, through the eyes of Cawood Ledford."
Cawood has made some of his phrases legendary in Kentucky, especially his traditional, "The Wildcats are moving to the right-hand side of your radio dial." When he appears at courtside at Rupp Arena, the Kentucky band salutes him in unison with a loud, "Hello, Cawood!" That's the kind of respect Kentucky fans have for "their" announcer.
The native of Harlan County, Ky., (actually Cawood. Ky.) has been named Best Basketball Announcer in the Nation, in addition to being named Kentucky's "Sportscaster of the Year" 18 times. He is president of his own Lexington-based company, Cawood Ledford Productions, and has produced many award-winning radio and television sports programs.
