Visions July 2023

New three-part series premieres this month!

As a partner in the Lexington branding agency Bullhorn

Creative, Will Coffman has worked with many of Kentucky’s most recognized brands – including God’s Pantry Food Bank, Waterfront Park and Lextran – helping

them tap into what they do best to maximize their community impact.

He therefore has a unique perspective when considering KET and its impact.

“KET’s story is Kentucky’s story: It’s about people coming

together to accomplish a goal and lift up the state,” Coffman said. “As a brand, KET has always stood for something that’s good and something that people trust. I think it’s powerful that KET’s educational mission is just as strong now as

KET DOES A GREAT JOB TELLING KENTUCKY’S STORY IN MODERN, EFFECTIVE WAYS.

- Will Coffman Partner, Bullhorn Creative

it was when it was founded, if not stronger.”

Coffman first became acquainted with KET as a young child. Although his parents discouraged their children from watching television in general, they made an exception for KET, allowing him and his sister to enjoy Sesame Street and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

“The educational part of KET was very important to my parents,” he added. “I think they recognized that KET’s children’s programs passed along good life lessons, whether about sharing, being considerate of those who are different from you or just caring for your whole community. When I look back, Mister Rogers played a foundational part of my life. Even as an adult, I still find myself getting emotional about some of the things I learned from him.”

Growing up in Lexington, Coffman’s family fostered an interest in civics and government. His father was a dentist, and his mother was the first female U.S. district judge in Kentucky.

As Coffman grew older, and he became a student of Kentucky’s political history, he gravitated to KET for a new reason: its public affairs coverage.

“On election night, KET was always on in our home,” Coffman said. “It was always so interesting and exciting. And as I’ve gotten older, KET’s election coverage has become an instrumental part of my life, something I look forward to each year.”

Working in Washington, D.C, after college, Coffman said he sought out KET’s online video to stay on top of what was happening in Kentucky’s elections and public affairs.

“I’ve always appreciated KET’s approach to its public affairs programs because it allows for honest discussion,” he said. “It seems like so many national news networks are more about having two people take extreme positions and shout across the table at each another. But with KET, you’re not getting those emotional histrionics. And I love what Renee Shaw brings to the conversation, allowing everyone’s perspective to be heard. It’s refreshing and makes for a much more rewarding experience.”

Coffman said he also appreciates that KET regularly produces historical documentaries about Kentucky and notable Kentuckians, such as Wendell Ford: From Yellow Creek to the Potomac, one of his personal favorites, as well as others on figures such as Daniel Boone, Harry Caudill and William T. Young.

“KET does a great job telling Kentucky’s story in modern, effective ways,” Coffman said. “No other network is producing these kinds of feature-length productions about Kentucky. And it’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to KET.”

TODAY’S KET

There is perhaps nothing more essential to being human than our ability to tell stories. Every individual, family, community and region around the globe has storytelling histories deeply rooted in ritual and tradition.

Storytelling is also so much of what we do at KET. From drama, music and dance to the stories of our history, people and places; our programs help preserve the past, reflect on the present and inspire our future.

This may be no better exemplified than in our popular Kentucky Life series. Having recently completed airing its 28th season, we are already hard at work gathering new stories from across the Commonwealth. When the new season premieres this fall, you can look forward to stories ranging from a 300-million-year-old natural arch to sustainable sheep farming as well as a community coming together to support Afghan refugees and their restaurant.

We’re also pleased to be a part of the Southern Storytellers project. To support the three-part broadcast special, we’re showcasing Kentucky storytellers – including a writer, a photographer, a chef and even an archaeologist – in a series of accompanying digital shorts.

We take great pride in telling Kentucky’s stories and appreciate your support that allows us to continue telling more.

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

‘KET Forum’ examines drug addiction and recovery

The number of deaths in Kentucky related to drug overdoses – having risen throughout the pandemic and spiking to 2,250 annually – fell this past year for the first time in more than five years.

Join moderator Renee Shaw for this KET Forum that delves into Kentucky’s drug addiction problem. Shaw talks with a panel of experts, including drug recovery advocates, survivors and medical care providers, to learn more about what’s working in the fight against drugs in Kentucky and whether these new findings might be cause for optimism.
