MAKING A DIFFERENCE
CHAMPIONING KET &THE COMMONWEALTH M
ary Michael and Sam Corbett first met in 1989 while serving on the board of StageOne Family Theatre in Louisville. Though both enjoyed prominent careers — Mary Michael as senior advisor to Kentucky Gov. Martha Layne Collins in the 1980s and later as an executive with Norton Healthcare and Baptist Health Foundation, and Sam as an executive with Sam Meyers Formalwear, a company founded by his grandfather in 1905 — it was their shared zeal for Kentucky’s civic and cultural organizations that ultimately brought the couple together. And it’s that same passion for all things Kentucky that likewise fuels their love for KET. “KET is such a vital part of the fabric of Kentucky because it educates, inspires and unites us all about what’s going on across the Commonwealth,” said Mary Michael. Now that they’re retired, the Corbetts say they have a lot more time to catch their favorite KET programs — such as Antiques Roadshow, Poldark and Victoria — as well as to engage with their favorite civic causes.

DECEMBER 2021
For Sam, who served for more than a decade on the Jefferson County Public Schools board, Kentucky’s educational system continues to be a source of inspiration. A few years ago, he teamed up with a Louisville production company to create a half-hour monthly television program, Assignment Education, which airs regularly on KET2, in which he interviews educators and produces video segments about new technology and other noteworthy happenings in the school district. And with eight grandchildren now in the family, the Corbetts say they’re thankful for KET’s children’s programs, such as Sesame Street, Clifford and Arthur. “As an education advocate, I think it’s really important that we stress preschool and early childhood education for our young children so that they’re better prepared when they enter kindergarten,” Sam said. “And I think KET’s children’s programming is an important part of that equation. The children — and sometimes even the parents — think that they’re just being entertained. But, in fact, the programs provide a real learning environment that plays an important role in literacy and success in school.”
For Mary Michael, who serves as chair of the Kentucky Arts Council, she said she appreciates all the KET programs that explore the arts and tell the story of Kentucky artists—programs such as Kentucky Life, Live From Lincoln Center and It’s a Grand Night For Singing. “Thomas Merton once said, ‘We lose ourselves in the arts, and we find ourselves in the arts at the same time.’ And I think that’s so true,” Mary Michael said. “KET’s arts programming inspires creativity. And over the last few years, with COVID causing performances to be canceled and venues shuttered, it’s really been a time when we’ve needed the arts more than ever. So I’m so thankful that we have KET, which does such a great job of building awareness in the value of the arts and the role artists play across the Commonwealth.” Despite the proliferation of news and entertainment options on both television and the web, both Mary Michael and Sam say they still find themselves turning to KET when they want trusted and unbiased information on Kentucky or a quality drama to enjoy. “KET is still the best thing you can watch on television,” Sam said.
TODAY’S KET As the year draws to a close and we take a moment to reflect on our programs and services, we feel an incredible sense of gratitude and appreciation to everyone who watches and supports KET. This year, new original productions like Kentucky’s State Capitol illuminated the history of this beautiful building, Walter Tevis: A Writer’s Gambit shared a story of creativity, and Angels on Horseback: Midwives in the Mountains shared the power of service and commitment. As Ken Burns’ Muhammad Ali debuted, KET’s Muhammad Ali: A Kentucky Conversation shared local insights about Louisville’s native son. And throughout the year, KET’s public affairs and health teams covered key issues affecting Kentuckians and brought together community leaders and experts to share perspectives on important topics. New educational resources helped learners of all ages and included field trips to Kentucky’s Capitol, Social Studies Shorts, career pathways in the equine industry, and the recently launched Let’s Learn Kentucky that provides helpful information and resources to help support the developmental milestones, health, wellbeing and learning of our children so they are better prepared and ready for school. During the year, our talented team and their work were recognized with numerous awards; and in some months as many as two million unique viewers were watching KET. We couldn’t do it without you – thank you! We hope this holiday season brings happiness and health to you and your family.
“
KET is such a vital part of the fabric of Kentucky beacuse it educates, inspires and unites us all about what’s going on across the Commonwealth.
”
All the very best,
Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO
Mary Michael and Sam Corbett

Lidia Celebrates America: In Their Own Words: Overcoming the Odds Angela Merkel KET Tuesday, Dec. 14 • 8/7 pm KET2 Thursday, Dec. 16 • 9/8 pm
KET Tuesday, Dec. 28 • 8/7 pm
In this special, Lidia Bastianich travels from big cities to small pockets of rural America to share the inspiring stories of a diverse group of resilient Americans who have overcome extraordinary odds in their own lives and found purpose in serving their communities. They understand better than most that all our futures are interconnected.
Angela Merkel’s meteoric rise from pastor’s daughter in Communist East Germany to Time Magazine’s Person of the Year is a remarkable story of a woman who overcame the odds. Merkel successfully navigated the male-dominated sphere of German politics — as well as a vicious press and rampant sexism — to become the first female Chancellor of Germany.

Northern Kentucky Board member KET’s Northern Kentucky Regional Fund Board recently added a new member: Diane C. Wachs, an independent art appraiser and owner of Fine and Decorative Art Consulting, LLC. Wachs previously served as director of Fine & Decorative Art at Cowan’s Auctions as well as executive director of The Headley-Whitney Museum in Lexington.
Educators celebrate arrival of new Kindergarten-readiness resource Kentucky educators and education providers met in early November at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville to celebrate the unveiling of the Let’s Learn Kentucky resource hub, which was developed by KET in conjunction with the Kentucky Governor’s Office for Early Childhood and the Kentucky Department of Education. The mobile-friendly website offers an overview of what it means to be Kindergarten-ready and empowers parents and caregivers with activities and resources to support early learning development. Tonya Crum, KET’s senior director of education (left), and Amanda Wright, KET’s director of early childhood education, answered questions about the new educational resource, which is available at LetsLearnKY.org.
Students create their own stop-motion animations Students in Daviess and Christian counties recently explored the world of stop-motion animation in workshops with KET Education consultants. After learning how to translate their ideas into stop-motion form, the students put their new skills to the test, creating animations with playdough, construction paper, white boards and even their own bodies.
KET educational series on the arts now available in Spanish
In early November, KET’s public affairs team was on hand at the Kentucky Education Summit in Louisville, producing a live-stream of the two-day education conference as well as a highlight program that aired on KET.
