Who will bring the energy to the sports reporting world now?!?!?

Makes me sad, I grew up watching him call the early season UKTV games that were always carried on WKYT and WYMT. Some of my fondest UK memories watching those games with family that has since passed on. Good luck in your retirement Rob!

 

[MakinMusic]

It's time. Time for Finebaum too.

If you don't like Rob Bromley, well, you just don't like anyone.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

Always enjoyed watching the delayed broadcasts

 

[Cawood86]

Classy guy. I like Ol' Rob. No nonsense just the facts ma'am.

 

[catman111]

One of the nicest and most genuine person in the sports world. Grew up with Rob. I'm going to miss him.

Same here...it's like a small piece of my youth fading away. Good memories from ole' Rob.

Best wishes to Brom. Here up watching him call uk on tape delay.

 

[YouKay]

It always made me happy when I went back to Lexington to turn on channel 27 and see Rob still there. He started when I was at UK. I will miss him!

 

[bookerfan66]

He always seems like a classy guy who reports on sports.So many seem to make it about them.

 

[Kybluedude]

Going to miss him. Very sincere gentleman

 

[true blue1]

Best of luck Rob.

Hard to disagree.

I know everyone loves the SEC Network, but the side effect of that is no more UKTV network.

I know the production values weren't great, but it had that down home Kentucky feeling.

When I think of Rob Bromley, and all those commercials like Purnell's Sausage, Kentucky Farm Bureau, the old Double Quick gas station, Whitaker Bank, etc., it brings back so many great memories of UK athletics.

Gonna miss you, Rob Bromley.

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

He was boring but he is a legend.

 

[Cawood86]

I can even remember back to Denny Trease when Rob was the sideline guy. Rob has been around a long time. WKYT legend.

 

[TyCatPrice14]

Rob is a very classy person, his announcing games was a snore fest and I couldn't stand that. But he is still a very likeable guy.

I do miss the old TV ads. Big business now.

 

[Larry Skaggs]

Its Alan Cutler's job to lose

 

[Mike-D]

He's got a looooot of swaaaaaaaaagerr.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Sad to hear! Great man and been listening to him since my childhood. Always associated hearing his voice on Big Blue Sports Network with the new start of a season of Kentucky Basketball!

 

[KINGBEAST]

Always enjoyed watching the delayed broadcasts

Me too, but someone would ALWAYS call me and tell the score before I could watch it!!!! Back in those days you had to avoid all people till 11:30.

 

[DanHalen88]

I'm 46 yrs old and Rob is my first memory of U.K. basketball. He honestly was very very good at his craft and not saying that because of bias. Tough shoes to replace, but then again the great ones always are. Good luck Rob!

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

Resembles Sherman, on the old cartoon, "Peabody and Sherman".

 

[Cantwaitfor8]

His voice is synonymous with the delayed broadcasts and the sideline reports. His retirement does take us one more step away from the "old guard" with U.K. Basketball/and regional sports coverage.

 

[Lempface]

Bout time, he had zero energy in his monotonous voice.

 

[lj bulldog]

Sorry to see him leave. Best of luck to him. Is he getting completely out of broadcasting?

 

[kyfan606]

You will not find a better tv persona than Rob Bromley a gentleman who can never be replaced.

Wth shout up!!

 

[Supafuzz75]

Guess I don't like anyone.. Could NOT STAND his voice..

 

[BlueRunner11]

It's time. Time for Finebaum too.

And Buzz Baker.

 

[nerdcat]

Good luck in his retirement. Brings back a lot of memories.

ESPN could use a shot of this. I watch for sports, not lame stand-up comedy. Will miss him.

Gonna miss Rob Bromley.
