What about public media do you value most?

This first-ever nationwide event gives YOU the opportunity to rally behind your favorite public television and radio stations. 

Is it credible journalism, deep dives into history or science, a connection to the arts, access to enriching music, or something else you hold dear? Did a public television program impact your life path — maybe motivate you to take up a musical instrument or inspire you to pursue a particular career or academic study?

“I would be lost without KET. I depend on you for Kentucky news and opinions, national and international news, and the best programming.”

“KET has been a hallmark of reliable news and information since its inception. We in KY are lucky to have such a balanced source of the facts that enable its viewers to make informed decisions.”
Hopkinsville, KY

“My children love the children’s programs, my husband loves the travel and Ken Burns programs, and I love Masterpiece Theatre and the movies from the vault!”
Lexington, KY
