This month on Legends Rock, Chuck Johnston welcomes longtime KETV Sports Director Andy Kendeigh for a conversation that goes well beyond highlights and headlines.
Andy reflects on his journey from growing up in Illinois and attending the University of Wisconsin to becoming one of Nebraska’s most respected sportscasters. Along the way, he shares stories from more than three decades covering everything from the College World Series, NFL and NBA Playoffs, Final Fours, Olympic Swim Trials and Nebraska’s national championship volleyball team to the unforgettable—and unexpected—finals of Dancing with the Stars.
The conversation explores memorable moments behind the camera, what it really means to be a television sports director, working alongside Rob McCartney, and some hilarious behind-the-scenes stories involving Chili’s, Casey Kasem, dog poop under a desk, and whether adults should bring baseball gloves to games.
Andy also opens up about the life-threatening spinal infection he battled in 2024, his remarkable recovery, and the perspective it gave him on life, family and his career.
It’s an entertaining mix of sports, storytelling, humor and heart with one of Omaha’s most familiar sports voices.
