Dave Baker
The Media Approval Ratings feature trucks on with WKYT’s Dave Baker, former local conservative radio talk show host, former sidelines reporter for Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial/Raycom, current Channel 27 sports anchor, current TV pitchman, and soon-to-be-host for CBS College Sports, and who knows what other endeavors Buzz has going on at the moment, or in the future.
So what say you on Dave, thumbs-up or thumbs-down?

how can anyone approve him? he is horrible, he and rob bromley are the two worst sports guys in any city anywhere!
Back several years ago Baker was very good, especially on the radio. However, he appears to be one of these announcers that feels they need a schtick to succeed. He has become a caricature of himself. And I can’t get past his old radio show, which was beyond putrid.
Dave is my favorite! UK basketball and the SEC wouldn’t be the same without him.
