Longtime ºüÀêÊÓƵ sportscaster Bob Ramsey, who has been the radio play-by-play voice of the ºüÀêÊÓƵ University men's basketball team for nearly four decades, has been hired as a co-host on the afternoon drive-time general talk show on KTRS (550 AM), station general manger Mark Dorsey said.
Ramsey will join Heidi Glaus and Josh Gilbert, who already are in the 3-6 p.m. weekday slot, beginning May 13. Ramsey, who could not be reached for comment, currently is talking sports on KFNS (590 AM) with Frank Cusumano from 10 a.m. to noon weekdays and previously was on with Nate Lucas in early afternoons. A replacement for Ramsey is not immediately expected.
"I have enjoyed Bob’s presence on the air," KFNS owner Dave Zobrist said. "I wish him the best of luck in the future."
It's the reversal of a move Ramsey made in 2018, when he went from KTRS to KFNS.

Dorsey said he's confident Ramsey will make a smooth transition to the general talk genre from sports banter, just as KTVI (Channel 2) sports director Martin Kilcoyne previously did.
"He fits our demographics, he’s married with three children," Dorsey said. "Bob can branch out of sports, he’ll fit right in a news-talk-entertainment format. This is a way for us to show Bob's other talents, he knows about much more than sports. He’s a hidden gem."
