Jeff Piecoro, who covered the Cincinnati Reds for Fox Sports Ohio - rebranded last year as Bally Sports Ohio - for 22 seasons, is the new sports director at WTVQ-TV, ABC36News in Lexington, according to a tweet Wednesday from the station's news director, Miranda Combs.

Combs added that Piecoro, a former University of Kentucky Wildcats football player who is expected to continue to work as a color analyst on the UK football radio network, will be on the air starting next week:

Piecoro, Doug Flynn and Danny Graves were informed ahead of the 2021 season that they would not be part of the Reds' TV or radio broadcast teams.
