As the University of Kentucky prepares to return to athletics competition for the 2020-21 season, UK Athletics is launching a partnership with WLEX, which will serve as the official television partner of UK Athletics and the Lexington home of the UK Sports Network.
This agreement will make UK Sports Network television programming available on WLEX and other participating UK Sports Network affiliates six days per week, giving the University of Kentucky a local television presence among the best in all of college sports.
BBN Tonight, airing Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 8 p.m. on WLEX, will give viewers a daily 30-minute insider’s look into the UK Athletics program and provide discussion and analysis of current topics by UK Sports Network talent.
BBN Gameday, similar to its predecessor BBN TV, will air on Saturday mornings across local UK Sports Network affiliates and Fox Sports South, giving Big Blue Nation a chance to get ready for the biggest games of the weekend with exclusive access and expert analysis of upcoming matchups.
As the official television partner of UK Athletics, WLEX will produce BBN Tonight, BBN Gameday and all UK Sports Network special presentations.
