THE APEX TIMES
The basketball legend will sit down with Keith Farmer and Maggie Davis on a full episode segment tied to his upcoming book, “Dan Issel: From Kentucky Wildcat to NBA Legend.”
Dan Issel is scheduled to appear on LEX18’s “BBN Tonight” in a full segment that aired as part of the station’s sports programming on October 22, 2026. The interview spotlights the all-time Kentucky basketball figure and is tied to the release of his new book, “Dan Issel: From Kentucky Wildcat to NBA Legend.”
In the segment, Issel joins hosts Keith Farmer and Maggie Davis for a conversation centered on his basketball career and the themes he plans to address in the new publication. The LEX18 segment is presented as a complete interview, rather than a brief clip, and is posted through the station’s online sports page alongside episode visuals for “BBN Tonight.”
The episode positions the interview as a preview and companion to the book’s availability, with the show framing the conversation as a way to hear from Issel directly about his path from Kentucky basketball to the NBA. The segment description emphasizes that Issel’s appearance is meant to connect fans with the story behind the book, using the hosts to guide the discussion.
The book title, as described by LEX18, makes clear the through-line of Issel’s journey, from “Kentucky Wildcat” to “NBA Legend.” The “BBN Tonight” segment accordingly focuses on the timeline implied by that framing, including how the Kentucky portion of his career relates to the later professional chapter highlighted by the book.
Keith Farmer and Maggie Davis, who host the program, are presented in the segment announcement as Issel’s interview partners. Their role in the episode is to lead the discussion during the full-length conversation, as opposed to a topic-by-topic series of short exchanges.
With the interview now published, the next step for viewers is to watch the full segment and monitor for information tied to the book’s release, distribution, and availability. The LEX18 post does not, in the description provided, specify a publication date beyond the connection to the book’s impending release.
For Kentucky sports audiences, the “BBN Tonight” interview offers a local spotlight on a prominent state sports figure, using a statewide sports broadcast platform to bring the book’s narrative directly to viewers in Kentucky and the surrounding region.
