For more than 30 years, Tim Farmer has hosted a television program on KET. But his history with the network, he said, runs even deeper. He was a child in Carter County when he first became a devoted viewer, fascinated to discover

KET aired a weekly program about his favorite interests: hunting, fishing and the great outdoors.

“I grew up watching and learning from KET and Kentucky Afield,” Farmer said. “Jeremy Dreier was host, and I’d get my information about

what to fish, what bait to use and what the water temperatures were from his fishing report.”

Those experiences led to a career at the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife and, ultimately, a chance to host Kentucky Afield, where he

IF YOU GREW UP IN KENTUCKY, YOU GREW UP WITH KET – SO YOU KNOW THE DEEP ROOTS IT HAS IN OUR STATE.

-

became a fixture on KET for 20 years, taking home five Emmys for his efforts.

For the past decade, he’s teamed with his wife, Nicki, running their production company and hosting Tim Farmer’s Country Kitchen, a program that explores traditional recipes and food preparation. The program has earned a wide following, and even attracted offers from commercial networks wanting to bring it to cable. But Farmer always politely declines, adding that Kentucky’s in his blood and he has no interest in taking the program elsewhere.

“KET is the perfect home for our show,” Farmer said. “If you grew up in Kentucky, you grew up with KET – so you know the deep roots it has in our state. And KET’s programming is just pure Kentucky. I can’t think of another place I’d rather be.”

Farmer said he appreciates the fact that KET’s programming is educational and runs the gamut, exploring a wide variety of subjects near and dear to Kentucky viewers. Whenever he travels outside the Commonwealth, he said he’s always surprised by how frequently he’s recognized by viewers and approached with friendly questions and comments.

“I think that’s a testament to the role KET plays in people’s lives,” Farmer said. “When people turn to KET, they expect to learn something, whether it’s about cooking or politics or some piece of Kentucky history. And I think Nicki and I are fortunate from being on KET. People don’t look at us like we’re typical television celebrities. Instead, we’re like an old friend who’s approachable and there to share information. And we really like it that way.”

Additionally, Farmer said the network has been a wonderful partner for his three decades on the air, calling it “the standard for professionalism” in the television industry. And its programs covering Kentucky’s public affairs or telling Kentucky’s stories are always thoughtful and interesting, going to the heart of the issues.

“It’s really rare to find a network that’s tailored to a region the way KET is to Kentucky,” Farmer said. “We’re very fortunate to have a place where viewers can turn whenever they want information about our home state. I’ll always have a huge respect for KET – it’s been a big part of my life since it first began.”

TODAY’S KET

As we embark on a new year, we look forward to continuing to serve you and your family with our many trusted programs and educational resources.

We’re delighted to have new episodes of Tim Farmer’s Country Kitchen coming your way this winter, as well as a new season of The Farmer & The Foodie – and we’re proud to share both series nationally with public television viewers across the country.

You can enjoy new stories of fascinating people and places as Kentucky Life continues its 30th anniversary season and see more interesting features and conversations on Inside Louisville.

KET’s public affairs team, led by Renee Shaw, will continue to go beyond the headlines and delve into the state’s most pressing issues on Kentucky Edition, Kentucky Tonight and Comment on Kentucky.

If you haven’t had a chance to see it, we invite you to watch Carl the Collector, the fun new animated kids’ series featuring characters on the autism spectrum. I’m especially proud that Carl, which airs every morning, is produced by a team that includes neurodiverse writers, animators and voice talent. It’s a series we can all learn from and enjoy.

We appreciate and thank you for your support and wish you and your family a wonderful new year!

Sincerely,

A NEW SEASON OF ‘ALL CREATURES GREAT & SMALL’

Start your new year with new episodes of All Creatures Great & Small. The season promises a heartwarming reunion of all your favorite characters in the Skeldale House family – including Mrs. Pumphrey and the most pampered Pekingese of all, Tricki. It’s Spring 1941 when the season opens, and we return to Darrowby to find young baby Jimmy keeping everyone on their toes. With World War II now fully underway and James away at RAF Abingdon, Siegfried takes up the slack at the surgery. Helen is getting the hang of motherhood, and Mrs. Hall and Carmody are eager to help. Siegfried is keen to have everyone back. But Tristan’s surprise return won’t quite be as straightforward as he hoped.
