We’re spreading the Derby season buzz with a dozen regional radio stations, who will broadcast their morning shows live for two days from the Kentucky Derby Museum. The  Morning Line Presented by AT&T has become a staple on the Derby Festival schedule of events for more than three decades.

Interviews include Derby Festival guests such as the Queen & Royal Court, Festival Chair, as well as the KDF President and CEO. Local celebrities, politicians, coaches, jockeys, and trainers also make the radio rounds, and the Governor of Kentucky and Mayor Louisville may also just make a visit.

The event began as a regional outreach effort of the Derby Festival to promote not only Festival and Derby events, but the entire state as a tourism destination throughout the year.
