PIKEVILLE, Ky. - Following a stellar debut season, the Coach Keathley Show is set to return for a second season on CBS affiliate WYMT-TV. The highly-popular show featuring East Kentucky Miners head coach Kevin Keathley drew a 3.0 rating in its first season.

"I thought last year we gave the fans a very entertaining product to watch," said Keathley. "I'm looking forward to making the show just as exciting and fun to watch as our basketball games at the Expo Center."

WYMT-TV sportscaster Derek Forrest is headed back for a second season as the show's host.

"I'm glad we were able to have Derek back in the chair next to me hosting the show," Keathley added. "He did an excellent job last season."

The Coach Keathley Show is set to air Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., beginning Saturday, Nov. 22.

"We are nearing the start of season two of the Coach Keathley Show, and I am excited to be apart of it once again," Forrest commented. "Last year was a stepping stone for us, and with a full year under the belt now, this year will only improve on what we brought to the table last year. Coach Keathley, the Miners organization, and I look forward to bringing the Eastern Kentucky audience something brand new and exciting this year."

During its debut season, the Coach Keathley Show kept fans informed on the Miners organization while providing several intriguing segments.

"As far as what the show will be like this year, we hope that it will give our viewing audience a closer and more in-depth look at the team and the individuals," said Forrest. "We hope to bring the individuals and personalities out for all of the Miners fans to see exactly what their favorite players are like, and hopefully throw some surprises out there as well. You never know what Coach Keathley will do, and that makes for an interesting brand of television."

The East Kentucky Miners organization is headed into its second season in the Continental Basketball Association. East Kentucky reached the CBA Playoffs in its debut season. The Miners finished the 2008 regular-season 26-22.
