Parents and caregivers with toddlers seek out KET’s early child hood development resources. Those with pre-school and elementary school children enjoy PBS KIDS programs. Job seekers connect with KET’s workforce development resources. And teachers turn to KET for classroom resources and profes sional development training.
MEETING THE NEEDS Commonwealthʼs
“Whatever part of KET you’re using at that moment, that’s the most important,” said Nicholson, the former president and CEO of Keeneland. “It’s a different thing for different Kentuckians.”
As the longtime chair of the Commonwealth Fund for KET, the network’s fund raising body for private and corpo rate support, Nick Nicholson enjoys an expansive view of the many things KET does for Kentucky. And he’s got a pretty good idea about which is the most important.
Nicholson also credits KET and its wide-ranging reach across the Commonwealth for helping Ken tuckians stay informed on state government proceedings and other statewide issues through its coverage of the General Assembly and public affairs programs such as Kentucky Edition and Kentucky Tonight “A lot of Kentuckians get their news and information from media markets outside of Kentucky,” Nich olson said. “So without KET and its commitment of resources to letting Kentuckians know about what’s happening in Frankfort, we as a state wouldn’t be as informed on govern ment issues because no out-of-state media market is going to cover Kentucky across the board.”
A new season of wonderful programs from PBS kicks off this month and continues throughout the fall. Among the highlights
KET likewise plays an important storytelling role in the Common wealth, preserving the state’s unique history with documentaries about some of Kentucky’s most notable historical figures and personalities, Nicholson said. In fact, Nicholson was instrumental in helping ensure that these Kentucky stories get told when, in 2007, Keeneland made the lead charitable contribution to help create the Endowment for Ken tucky Productions, which supports programming about the Common wealth, including Forgotten Fame: The Marion Miley Story, John Hall: The Kentucky Commodore, and Big Family: The Story of Bluegrass Music“I’ve. always felt that Kentucki ans are great storytellers,” Nicholson said. “But if we don’t tell our stories, no one else will. And certainly no one is going to tell the story of Ken tucky as well as KET.”
In October, new documentaries explore the lives of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Finding Your Roots host Henry Louis Gates, Jr. presents the new fourpart series Making Black America . And Masterpiece features a second season of Miss Scarlett and the Duke as well as the premiere of two new stories: Magpie Murders and Annika Parents and caregivers will want to look for the new animated PBS KIDS series Rosie’s Rules , as well as new episodes of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Pinkalicious & Peterrific November features a new special on King Tut, and December brings holiday programs including a special Call the Midwife . We hope you find lots to enjoy in the coming Importantly,weeks!our ability to purchase these programs and bring them to you and your family is thanks to your generous contributions and the efforts of dedicated volunteers like Nick Nicholson, and the other members of the Commonwealth Fund for KET Board, who support our mission throughout the year.

A timely example, Nicholson said, is KET’s statewide network of transmission towers that not only broadcasts KET programming throughout the state but also serves an important public safety role, housing equipment from NOAA, Kentucky State Police and others that bolster critical emergency com munications.“We’reastate that’s vulnerable to natural disasters,” Nicholson said. “It’s vitally important that during these events our first responders have the communications support they need to get in and do the won derful work they do.”
This three-part documentary from Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein tells the story of how the American people grappled with one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the 20th century, and how this struggle tested the ideals of our democracy.
Combining the first-person accounts of Holocaust witnesses and survivors and interviews with leading historians and writers, The U.S. and the Holocaust dispels competing myths that Americans either were ignorant of the unspeakable persecution that Jews and other targeted minorities faced in Europe or that they looked on with callous indifference. The film tackles a range of questions that remain essential to our society today, including how racism influences policies related to immigration and refugees as well as how governments and people respond to the rise of authoritarian states that manipulate history and facts to consolidate power.
The film examines the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany in the context of global antisemitism and racism, the eugenics movement in the United States, and race laws in the American south.
The film features a fascinating array of historical figures that includes Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles Lindbergh,

Muhammad Ali This film brings to life one of the most indelible figures of the 20th century, a three-time heavyweight boxing champion and Louisville native who captivated millions of fans across the world with his mesmerizing combination of speed and power in the ring, and charm and playful boasting outside of it.
This four-hour documentary explores the revolutionary life of one of the 18th century’s most consequential and compelling personalities, whose work and words unlocked the mystery of electricity and helped create the United States.
“During the Second World War, millions of Americans fought and sacrificed to defeat fascism, but even after we began to understand the scope and scale of what was happening to the Jewish people of Europe, our response was inadequate and deeply flawed,” Novick said. “This is a story with enormous relevance today as we are still dealing with questions about immigration, refugees and who should be welcomed into the United States.”
