MAKING A DIFFERENCE
A NETWORK OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT T
he importance of community partnerships was first impressed upon Jim Allen when he was in his early 20s, fresh out of graduate school and beginning his career. Allen got involved with a YMCA youth shelter downtown, and the experience gave him a better understanding that many children didn’t have the same advantages that he had enjoyed growing up. “What I witnessed there really got my attention,” Allen said. “I got to see the resilience of these young people, and at the same time I gained an appreciation for my own upbringing.” Forty years later, Allen is now vice chairman of R.W. Baird & Co., and his commitment to investing in community organizations, he says, has only deepened. It’s also one of the reasons he’s a big supporter of KET, which he says plays a vital role in Kentucky’s communities. “KET is a trusted partner and an important source of information and news,” Allen said. “KET’s programming enhances the lives of its viewers. And KET does a wonderful

TODAY’S KET The new year begins with a return to Downton Abbey thanks to a special broadcast of the 2019 featurelength film. KET’s long tradition of providing access to the General Assembly proceedings continues with the 2022 Regular Session. Our comprehensive coverage can be viewed at KET.org and on KETKY. The Kentucky Chamber Day coverage, featuring spirited comments from the governor and legislative leadership, will be available via live streaming on Thursday, Jan. 6, and on a Highlights program on Monday, Jan. 10. This month, Masterpiece begins a new season of All Creatures Great and Small as well as a new adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days. There’s also new Nature and Nova specials showcasing extraordinary perspectives – from the polar bears’ tundra home to the amazing migratory paths of butterflies. Looking ahead to February, a new KETproduced series will examine the under-told story of lung disease, talking with public health researchers and advocates fighting for Kentuckians’ health. And after the first season of Sanditon left us on the edge of our seats with its cliff-hanger ending, we finally get a continuation of the story in March. We thank you for watching and supporting KET. And we wish you and your family a Happy New Year! All the very best,

Remembering John Hall of Ashland, Inc., a devoted Kentucky philanthropist John Hall, former CEO of Ashland, Inc,, passed in November of last year at age 89. Hall, whose life was detailed in the 2016 KET documentary John Hall: Kentucky Commodore, was also a dedicated philanthropist, spearheading efforts to support a variety of Kentucky causes, including the state’s public education system and cancer research. Hall likewise was a longtime supporter of KET, helping to establish KET’s Commonwealth Fund in 1995. Hall’s family suggests donations in his memory be made to the John R. Hall Endowment for Education, found at KET.org/JohnHall.
In November, KET aired Comment on Kentucky Remembers Al Smith, a special episode honoring longtime host, the late Al Smith, who died in 2021. Hosted by Renee Shaw, the program included Al Cross, John David Dyche, Mark Hebert, and Jamie Lucke. The program is available for streaming at KET.org/AlSmith KET.org/AlSmith. Photo above: Martha Helen Smith, Al Smith’s widow, offered some remarks during the program, with Renee Shaw (left) and Al Cross (right).
KET now available on DirectTV Stream DirectTV Stream, the company’s on-demand streaming service, added KET programming to its lineup in early December. Both DirectTV and DirectTV Stream also offer the PBS KIDS channel.
