Because of a generous donation, KET is pleased to revive plans to cover this year’s political gathering at Fancy Farm.

“We’re grateful to the Kentucky Chamber, a longtime corporate partner and supporter of KET, for helping us to continue this decades-long tradition of bringing viewers across the state coverage of this iconic event,” said Shae Hopkins, KET executive director and CEO.

Host Renee Shaw will be joined by analysts Bob Babbage and Trey Grayson. Fancy Farm 2025 broadcasts live Saturday, Aug. 2 beginning at 2:30/1:30 pm CT on KET.

KET had previously made the difficult decision to not cover the annual political event due to the elimination of federal funding through the Rescissions Act.

KET will air highlights from the event on Monday, August 3 at 8/7 pm.

KET is Kentucky’s largest classroom, providing trusted programming, lifelong learning opportunities and essential services to more than two million people each week. Learn more about Kentucky’s preeminent public media organization at KET.org, on X @KET and at facebook.com/KET.
