Get ready, Louisville basketball fans—your connection to the team is about to get a whole lot stronger. The Pat Kelsey Radio Show is hitting the airwaves, and it’s your all-access pass to the heart of Cardinals basketball. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just another sports show—it’s a deep dive into the strategies, stories, and personalities shaping the 2025-26 season. And this is the part most people miss: it’s also a chance to hear directly from Head Coach Pat Kelsey as he navigates his second season at the helm of Louisville Men’s Basketball.
Here’s what you need to know: The Pat Kelsey Radio Show kicks off on Tuesday, October 21, with 16 episodes scheduled throughout the season. Each show will air from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET on 93.9 The Ville and 970 AM WGTK, though occasional scheduling conflicts may arise. Joining Kelsey will be the legendary Paul Rogers, the 'Voice of the Cards,' whose insights will add even more depth to the conversations.
But here’s where it gets controversial: With 10 shows broadcasting live from Roosters-Springhurst (3601 Springhurst Blvd., Louisville) and 6 from private locations, some fans might wonder if the private shows will feel exclusive. Is this a missed opportunity for broader fan engagement, or a strategic move to keep certain discussions behind closed doors? Let us know what you think in the comments.
