The station is bringing back its Game Day Uncensored program hosted by a collection of talent at the station and local sports reporters. This program will feature three hours of pregame content ahead of the matchups and three hours of postgame coverage afterwards with news, notes and sound bites from the contest.
Midday show host Bob Haynie and afternoon show host Ken Weinman will be on the first hour of the pregame coverage, while afternoon show co-host Tim Barbalace, midday host Vinney Cerrato and Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston will host the remaining two hours. Melissa Kim will bring fans postgame content for the first two hours of each Ravens game, and she will be followed by Mike Popovec to wrap up the final hour.

The Ravens will seek to qualify for the NFL Playoffs in a third consecutive season following a year in which the team lost the AFC Championship Game to the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Lamar Jackson won the second AP NFL Most Valuable Player award of his career, passing for 3,678 yards in the regular season on 8.0 yards per attempt, throwing 24 touchdown passes and rushing 821 yards on 148 carries. With the selection, Jackson became the youngest two-time MVP since the 1970 merger and fell one vote short of a unanimous selection.
