Connecting the Commonwealth GOING BEYOND THE HEADLINES TO SERVE KENTUCKIANS
L
ike no other resource, KET’s statewide reach fosters civil conversations that encourage greater understanding of the complex issues facing our state and nation. “Our public affairs programs explore multi-dimensional issues with diverse viewpoints. We endeavor to inform viewers with what to think about — not what to think,” noted Renee Shaw, KET’s public affairs managing editor. The host of Kentucky Tonight, Legislative Update, and Connections with Renee Shaw, the 20-year veteran KET journalist says each of these programs provides viewers with exceptional depth. “KET is a public service. Each public affairs program is executed with journalistic integrity and independence,” she says.
KENTUCKY TONIGHT KET Mondays • 8/7 pm A mainstay of KET’s public affairs lineup since its debut in 1994, this program features a diverse panel of legislators, experts, and advocates that go beyond the headlines into the complex issues many families discuss at the dinner table. “Kentucky Tonight is the table that brings together policymakers, stakeholders, advocates, and everyday citizens in a dialogue that moves the state forward,” says Shaw. “Through this important series, we offer viewers a chance to engage the policymakers who are making crucial decisions affecting our state.”
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE KET Monday-Thursday during the session • 11/10 pm KET Fridays during the session • 8:30/7:30 pm KET’s nightly report during the regular sessions, Legislative Update connects lawmakers to their constituents and offers unfiltered access to government and policymaking in action. This program distills our gavelto-gavel coverage of the Kentucky General Assembly to the essential elements of the day’s events. “We are dedicated to enhancing the civic education of all Kentuckians and providing the proper context and explanation of events to deepen that understanding,” Shaw says.

A COMMENT ON KENTUCKY KET Fridays • 8/7 pm
KET LEGISLATIVE COVERAGE APP
Producer/host Bill Bryant recaps each week’s major news stories with a panel of working journalists from around the Commonwealth. Since 1974, reporters have distilled the events shaping our state, providing unique insights and explanations of the stories they cover on a daily basis.
KET’s Legislative Coverage App is available for iPhone and iPad in the Apple App Store and for Android devices on Google Play. With this app, you have access to live and archived video of all of these public affairs programs. The app also features articles and summaries of KET legislative coverage and related public affairs programs, email and social-media sharing functionality for video, and access to the Legislative Research Commission mobile website for directories, bill tracking, and more.
LIVE COVERAGE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY KET KY & Online at KET.org Weekdays during the session Since 1978, KET has brought the business of the state into the homes of Kentuckians through our live legislative coverage. Today, that service continues on KET’s Kentucky Channel and online at KET.org/legislature, where citizens follow the Kentucky General Assembly through live coverage of committee meetings and House and Senate chamber sessions, as well as archived video from current and past sessions. Gubernatorial addresses also are included.
s we look back on KET’s history during our 50th-anniversary year, I am proud of the many ways KET has been able to serve Kentucky. In particular, the wideranging public affairs coverage we provide today is the result of a longtime dedication to addressing the important issues facing Kentuckians. By bringing cameras into the General Assembly in 1978 – a year before C-SPAN did the same for the U.S. Congress – KET gave citizens unprecedented access to their state representatives and the legislative process. Through programs such as Kentucky Tonight, which premiered in 1994, KET has been a town hall for the entire Commonwealth, bringing together diverse points of view for meaningful, civil, and insightful discussions. And, more recently, we have expanded to also place a major focus on Kentucky’s health, tackling complex topics such as the opioid crisis by examining the causes and offering solutions. There will always be issues that we as a state must face together. As Kentucky’s only statewide media, reaching a million people every week, KET is uniquely situated to be both a trusted provider of information and a respected convener of ideas. We look forward to building on this rich history. Sincerely,
Shae Hopkins
KET Executive Director and CEO

Nature: The Last Rhino KET Wednesday, Feb. 21 • 8/7 pm KET2 Saturday, Feb. 24 • 6/5 pm
Nova: Great Escape at Dunkirk KET Wednesday, Feb. 14 • 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 18 • 7/6 pm
Meet Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhinoceros. Learn his harrowing journey through the people who have been involved in his life — from when he was snatched as a calf from his mother’s side in war-torn Central Africa to his captivity as a prized exhibit in a cold, concrete zoo behind the Iron Curtain while poaching devastated his kind to extinction back home.
As France fell to the German armies in May 1940, 300,000 Allied troops were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. Their annihilation seemed certain — a disaster that could have led to Britain’s surrender. But then, in a last-minute rescue, dramatized in Christopher Nolan’s recent film, Royal Navy ships and a flotilla of tiny civilian boats evacuated hundreds of thousands of soldiers to safety across the Channel — the legendary “miracle of Dunkirk.” Now, Nova follows a team of archaeologists, historians, and divers as they recover the remains of ships, planes, and personal effects lost during the epic operation.
Nova: First Face of America KET Wednesday, Feb. 7 • 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 11 • 7/6 pm On an unlucky day 13,000 years ago, a slightly built, malnourished teenager missed her footing and tumbled to the bottom of a 100-foot pit deep inside a cave in Mexico’s Yucatan. Rising seas flooded the cave and, until recently, cut it off from the outside world. A nearly complete and astonishingly well-preserved skeleton was found alongside fossils of extinct Ice Age beasts such as giant sloths and saber-tooth tigers. Nova undertakes a risky underwater expedition to recover her bones and explore one of science’s most controversial riddles: the origins of the First Americans.
meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty? In a fascinating, fast-paced investigation, Nova goes from the glitz of casinos and TV game shows to the life-and-death stakes of storm forecasts and the flaws of opinion polls that can swing an election.
Neanderthal KET Wednesday, Feb. 28 • 9/8 pm Meet the Neanderthals — but not as we know them. They were smarter, faster, and more like us than we ever imagined. Hollywood star Andy Serkis teams up with expert paleontologists and uses breaking science, evocative storytelling, and award-winning animation to discover the true nature of our ancient ancestors, bringing them to life like never before.
Nova: Prediction by the Numbers KET Wednesday, Feb. 21 • 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 25 • 7/6 pm Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the Internet, and “big data,” the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally?

KET Begins Sunday, Feb. 4 • 8/7 pm KET2 Begins Wednesday, Feb. 7 • 8/7 pm Accompany English actress Dame Penelope Keith for a behind-thescenes look at Queen Elizabeth’s official royal residences in each of the four nations that make up the U.K. This delightful miniseries was created to commemorate the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. It begins with the queen’s much-loved Windsor Castle, where we learn about the Knights of the Garter, then visits the Royal Herb Strewer, and joins the Queen’s Bargemaster for a trip along the River Thames.
6 American Experience: The Gilded Age KET Tuesday, Feb. 6 • 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 11 • 9/8 pm Thirty years after the Civil War, America had transformed itself into an economic powerhouse and was fast becoming the world’s leading producer of food, coal, oil, and steel. But the transformation had created stark new divides in wealth, class, and opportunity. By the end of the 19th century, the richest 4,000 families in the country — less than 1 percent of all Americans — possessed nearly as much wealth as the other 11.6 million families combined. This program presents a compelling portrait of an era of glittering wealth contrasted with extreme poverty.
12 Rising from the Rails: The Story of the Pullman Porter KET Monday, Feb. 12 • 9/8 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 18 • 10/9 pm Explore the little-known history of the African-American men hired to work on railroad sleeping cars beginning in the late 1860s. Serving wealthy, white passengers in the golden age of rail travel, the Pullman Porters carried their labor-organizing skills, civil-rights ideals, and elements of black culture — such as jazz and blues — across the country. As trailblazers in the struggle for African-American self-sufficiency, the porters inspired future generations of independent black leaders, including their own descendants.
19 Independent Lens: Tell Them We Are Rising KET Monday, Feb. 19 • 9/8 pm The rich history of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities which began before the end of slavery, flourished in the 20th century, and profoundly influenced the course of the nation for over 150 years — yet remains largely unknown. A haven for black intellectuals, artists, and revolutionaries — and a path of promise toward the American dream — these institutions have nurtured some of the most influential Americans of our time, from Booker T. Washington to Martin Luther King Jr.; W.E.B. Du Bois to Ralph Ellison; Toni Morrison to Oprah Winfrey; and Alice Walker and Spike Lee to hip-hop artist Common.
20 We’ll Meet Again: Freedom Summer KET Tuesday, Feb. 20 • 8/7 pm KET2 Sunday, Feb. 25 • 8/7 pm Join journalist Ann Curry for the dramatic reunions of people who lost touch after the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Fatima, a teenager from New York, volunteered to register voters in Louisiana. Now, she returns to the South, hoping to find Thelma, the daughter of her host family, whose courage in the face of racism was unforgettable. In addition, Sherie searches for Lefty, the charismatic civil-rights activist whose commitment to nonviolence inspired her own lifelong involvement with social-justice causes.

bell hooks
Outstanding Kentucky authors inducted into Hall of Fame Watch as revered Kentucky authors bell hooks, John Fox Jr., Annie Fellows Johnston, and Walter Tevis are honored when KET airs 2018 Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame. The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame was created in 2013 to recognize those authors whose work reflects the character and culture of the Commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about the state’s rich literary heritage. Raised in Hopkinsville, hooks is a highly regarded author, feminist, and social activist well-known for Ain’t I a Woman. A journalist, novelist, and short story writer, Fox is the author of The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, two of his most well-known and successful works. Johnston was famed for her children’s books, particularly the 13 “Little Colonel” books. Tevis is best known for two novels that he wrote while he worked for the Kentucky Highway Department: The Hustler and The Man Who Fell to Earth. 2018 Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame KET Monday, Feb. 26 • 9/8 pm 22 VISION S

Murals about Holocaust subject of new KET program For 20 years, students enrolled in Western Kentucky University’s VAMPY program, a summer camp for Verbally and Mathematically Precocious Youth, have designed and created murals about the Holocaust. In a new half-hour documentary, KET explores this unique and inspiring project, visiting the campus as students work on the 2017 mural and showcasing an exhibit of past murals at Louisville’s Jewish Community Center. The course taken by the VAMPY students chronicles the rise and fall of the Nazi Party, focusing on its use of propaganda and the danger of being a spectator in the face of atrocity. Teacher Ron Skillern incorporates a variety of interactive projects, including the mural. The production was funded in part by a grant from the Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence. Murals of the Holocaust KET Sunday, Feb. 25 • 10:30/9:30 pm
