Kentucky Educational Television signed on the air in September 1968 as Kentucky’s statewide public broadcasting network. Today, our 32 transmitters (16 analog, 16 digital) and three translators deliver the PBS national schedule; our own wide range of local arts, cultural, documentary, and public affairs productions; and adult education programs and college-credit courses to viewers throughout Kentucky and in parts of seven surrounding states.

      Through digital broadcast and multimedia products, we also bring hundreds of hours of instructional programs and professional development seminars to Kentucky schools each year. KET Distance Learning offers fully accredited high school classes in foreign languages, the humanities, and physics via videotape/DVD and online delivery.

      KET is widely acknowledged as the premier producer of video instruction in adult basic skills and workplace education. These products as well as instructional videos on a variety of other subjects are marketed by KET Enterprise.

      The governing body for KET is the Kentucky Authority for Educational Television, an agency of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Two independent nonprofit foundations, the KET Foundation and the Commonwealth Fund for KET, solicit and manage the corporate, institutional, and individual contributions that support local productions as well as the acquisition of PBS and other national programs.

      KET’s broadcast services originate from our headquarters in the O. Leonard Press Telecommunications Center, 600 Cooper Drive in Lexington. We also maintain a production studio at 4309 Bishop Lane in Louisville and a community liaison office at 620 West Main Street in Louisville.
