MYSTERY SUMMER OF

Endeavour’s final season, Grantchester and more!

Growing up the child of a high school art teacher, Sean Mestan noticed his mother had an interesting way with her students, often using the rubric of art as an educational vehicle to expand into a variety of other areas,

such as history, science and math.

“She was essentially teaching multiple subjects through art,” Mestan said. “And to this day, I still have people come up and tell me how much they appreciated her and the impact she had on their lives.”

His mother’s approach to education, he said, reminds him a lot about what he sees in KET.

“My mother impressed upon my sister and me the fact that getting a good education wasn't just about having a great career or making

2 MAKING A DIFFERENCE VISIONS | JUNE 2023

a lot of money; it was about being well-rounded, empathetic and caring for others,” Mestan said. “KET reflects those same qualities, both with its programming and its resources. It’s educational in nature, but there are things that also help us become better people. And I love that.”

Mestan’s affinity for education, instilled by his mother, has guided much of his career and, likewise, his volunteer work. A former Spanish and adult education teacher, Mestan also has served for 14 years on the Friends of KET, a network of community volunteers who help with KET’s local outreach and fundraising efforts, including two terms as the group’s president.

His KET volunteer work has taken him to communities across the Commonwealth, far from his hometown of Princeton in Western Kentucky.

“Kentucky is an incredibly diverse state, and you can really learn a lot about it traveling around and visiting communities and learning about their history,” Mestan said. “And I think that’s true about KET’s programming — the diversity it offers, everything from historical documentaries to musical perfor-

mances to food programs. There’s literally something for everyone on KET.”

Mestan taught adult education at Western Kentucky Correctional Complex, helping inmates earn their GED® equivalency certificate. His work there, he said, showed him the value of KET’s adult education resources, which can be a life raft for those looking to restart their educational journey and improve their lives for the better.

“A lot of the inmates I work with come from families in which education wasn’t stressed,” Mestan said. “It’s sad because you see how they get caught up in a cycle of poverty and crime. But a lot of them understand the importance of having their GED® when they leave the facility so they can get a job and break that cycle.”

A longtime music fan who plays guitar and ukulele in his spare time, Mestan said he personally gravitates to KET’s arts programming, particularly Austin City Limits, as well as its historical documentaries, such as Big Family: The Story of Bluegrass Music, which traces the history of bluegrass music beginning with its rise with Bill Monroe.

“A lot of bluegrass music was born right down the road here in Western Kentucky,” Mestan said. “KET’s documentaries help you make those connections, not only with other people, but also with your personal interests. And that makes education fun. I know I find myself glued to the television because I don’t want to miss anything.”

TODAY’S KET

As Kentucky’s only statewide media, KET creates programs and resources that reach almost every home and school across the Commonwealth. We’re incredibly proud to serve our state’s citizens of every age and circumstance.

When it comes to being in the hundreds of various communities throughout Kentucky, however, it can be a challenge. And that’s where we rely on a little help from our friends.

For more than 50 years, the Friends of KET volunteer group has worked tirelessly on behalf of KET. Representing regions across the state, the Friends provide an essential community presence as they share KET resources, help with events, serve as ambassadors, and importantly help keep us better informed about activities and news from their communities.

The Friends of KET are also integral to our fundraising efforts, often providing support for membership drives (like the special one-day pledge drive taking place June 11), events (like Summer Celebration happening June 10 this year) and more.

We’re so appreciative of this unparalleled network of generous and talented individuals.

KET relies on the help from our Friends and on your support to make our programs and services possible. Thank you!

KET’S DOCUMENTARIES HELP YOU MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS, NOT ONLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE, BUT ALSO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INTERESTS. AND THAT MAKES EDUCATION FUN.
Sincerely,

NEXTGEN TV rollout continues

In the fall of 2022, KET became just the 15th public television station in the nation to offer NEXTGEN TV with the launch of this new broadcast technology in the Louisville area. Now, KET is introducing the service in another area we serve.

If you are in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area and watch KET via antenna, you will need to rescan (please see instruction manual for your television) on or after June 5 to continue receiving KET. This applies to whether you have a NEXTGEN TV-enabled device or not. Those who receive KET via cable or satellite do not need to do anything to continue receiving KET. More information is available at KET.org/Rescan.

What is NEXTGEN TV?

Also known as the ATSC 3.0, this is the latest innovation in free, over-the-air broadcast TV. It’s available in many major U.S. cities, including Louisville and Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati. All you need is a NEXTGEN TV and an HD antenna.

NEXTGEN TV provides higher quality video and audio, more programming streams, better reception, built-in apps, enhanced accessibility and more. Recently introduced by KET for its NEXTGEN TV signals is the first public television app to offer on-demand video.

Following the June 5 launch of NEXTGEN TV in Northern Kentucky, KET will continue to roll out the new broadcast technology across the rest of the Commonwealth as we look to also take advantage of the new capabilities to best serve our viewers.

For more information on NEXTGEN TV, please visit KET.org/NextGen.

Kentucky artist uses toys as metaphors for complex themes
