Larry Glover is an American sportscaster and radio talk show host. He is the former play-by-play voice of the Lexington Legends, serving as the team's director of broadcasting and media relations for seven seasons and nearly 1,000 games.[1] While with the team, he built a 26-affiliate radio network to broadcast the games, which was the largest in Minor League Baseball history at the time.[2] He was named the 2005 South Atlantic League Media Relations Director of the Year,[3] and was honored by his peers as the 2008 Kentucky Sportscaster of the Year.[2]
A native of Hawesville, Kentucky and an alumnus of the University of Kentucky, Glover began his broadcasting career when he won a contest on a Lexington sports radio program by correctly predicting that Duke would defeat Kentucky in the famous 1992 Elite Eight game.[3] He was permitted to host his own show as a result, and eventually came to pilot Sunday Sports Central, a post he held for more than nine years.[3] He also spent five seasons as a broadcaster on the UK Radio Network.[2]
Glover has hosted Larry Glover Live on News Talk 590 WVLK in Lexington since January 2008.[1] After hosting the show in a nightly drive-time slot for nearly a decade, he moved to the station's midday lineup in September 2017, where the program expanded beyond sports to cover news and local politics.[2] He also hosts a local call-in show on the station immediately following Kentucky football and men's basketball games.[4]
