Cumulus names veteran Lexington, KY, talk radio personality Larry Glover as midday host on WVLK-AM (News Talk 590) from 12-3pm weekdays. Glover moves from his 6-8pm drive slot on co-owned WVLK-AM, where he has hosted "Larry Glover Live" since January, 2008. Concurrently, syndicated talk radio host Chris Plante will move into the 10am-12noon position on WVLK, which is now simulcast on FM at 97.3.

Glover was the radio voice for the Lexington Legends for seven seasons and nearly 1,000 games at Applebee's Park before returning to his radio roots at WVLK-AM in 2008. He was honored as the 2008 Kentucky Sportscaster of the Year.

Cumulus Media-Lexington VP/Market Manager Scott Frazier said, "We are very excited to have Larry Glover join our midday lineup on News Talk 590 WVLK. I've always believed that Larry possessed the ability to reach beyond the world of sports talk to offer entertaining and informative commentary on a broad range of topics. He will now have that opportunity and I think our listeners will love what they hear."

WVLK Program Director Kruser added, "For many years, Larry Glover has been a staple of the News Talk 590 WVLK lineup. Over that time, he has proven to be an authoritative voice on U.K sports and sports of all sorts. But he's also shown versatility on news matters and politics. That mix will be valuable in the Noon to 3pm position. And it will be good for WVLK to be local in that time slot again."
