THE DOCTOR IS BACK IN

Doc Martin returns to KET with final two seasons

FROM TO

INTERNSHIP CAREER

Ayear removed from his life as a student at Asbury University, KET’s Kevin Combs regularly travels across the Commonwealth, putting together video stories about the communities he visits in his role as a multimedia journalist with Kentucky Edition

It’s a dream job for the Knox County native, who grew up watching KET’s early childhood programming and ultimately sought a degree in media communications to learn the art of television production.

“Over the past year, I’ve trav-

eled more around Kentucky than I have in my entire life,” Combs said. “The best part of my job is that each week I’m learning something new, both about the state I love and what it takes to put together the kind of informational, well-made stories that KET is known for. It’s

- Kevin Combs

been so cool to see the growth in my professional development, as well as in myself.”

Combs said he credits his promising career start to a fateful day in college when he attended a job fair and discovered that KET offered paid internships to students pursuing careers in media production. He applied on the spot and soon learned he’d been awarded one of the O. Leonard Press Internship positions, which were established in honor of KET’s founder.

“When you’re in college studying a subject, a lot of the knowledge you gain is theoretical,” Combs said. “But at KET, I was suddenly working on live programs every day, getting hands-on experience working the cameras, the teleprompter and all the other aspects of production. It was really exciting to get that real-world experience so early in my career.”

Internships are just one of the many ways in which we open our doors to students, offering a place to learn about the wide world of media production. Throughout the year, dozens of schools visit the KET Network Center in Lexington to tour the studios and see first-hand how Kentucky’s only statewide media puts together its award-winning programs and educational resources. Additionally, our Media Lab hosts dozens more school groups each year, whether in person or via its on-

line virtual sessions, where students in grades K-12 receive hands-on instruction on a variety of mediarelated topics – everything from video production to audio editing to learning the fundamentals of computer coding.

“That’s one of the reasons that KET is such a great place to work,” Combs said. “On any given day, I’ll come into work and there will be a group of kids on a school field trip walking through the halls, looking into the studios and pointing and exclaiming ‘Oh my gosh, there’s Big Bird!’ It’s one of the things I’d wished I’d been able to do as a kid, seeing KET’s inner workings and how everything gets made.”

Combs’ internship led to a fulltime position with KET after he graduated college. And after six months, Combs was promoted from an assistant producer role to one as a multimedia journalist.

“Before I worked here, I never realized the amount of content KET makes about Kentucky,” Combs said. “I get to see how much time and effort goes into all our programs, and it’s really made me appreciate the work we do. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve have people come up to me while I’m on a shoot, telling me how much they love the work we do at KET. And that’s a great feeling to work at a place that’s so beloved.”

TODAY’S KET

Education has always been at the heart of all we do at KET.

Every day, through four broadcast channels and a robust online library, we provide a wide variety of history, science, how-to, public affairs and other programs, as well as the trusted educational children’s programming enjoyed by our youngest viewers.

We also produce and provide classroomfocused resources that assist teachers and learners, ranging from early childhood, to K-12, to adult basic education and workforce development.

And through all these educational programs and instructional resources, KET is proud to act as the Commonwealth’s largest classroom with more than two million people using our services each week.

While providing these programs and services is our primary focus, we also strive to live our values by actively providing hands-on learning experiences through our internship opportunities.

Each year, student interns gain valuable knowledge and skills in several areas of KET, including television production, communications and development.

We appreciate our interns who work hard and quickly become valuable members of our teams. And we’re proud to have several of them, like Kevin Combs, advance on to successful careers at KET.

Many of our intern opportunities are made possible by the O. Leonard Press Public Affairs Endowment and we thank our many donors who have provided this support in honor of KET’s founder. We believe he would be proud to know these internship opportunities are helping students take a first important step on their career journeys.

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO

I GET TO SEE HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT GOES INTO ALL OUR PROGRAMS, AND IT’S REALLY MADE ME APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT KET DOES.

‘DOC MARTIN’ WILL SEE YOU NOW

Everybody’s favorite grumpy doctor is back with new episodes! Away on hiatus from American public television for the past few years, Doc Martin has returned with the series’ final two seasons in tow. Season 9 of Doc Martin premieres this month on KET, with the series’ final season airing in early December.

Martin Clunes returns to reprise his role as Doc Martin (aka Dr. Martin Ellingham) with his career hanging in the balance after a rash of patients’ complaints prompt an investigation by the General Medical Council. Unabashed, Martin goes about his usual ways, still struggling with his crippling phobia of blood. Elsewhere in the beautiful seaside town of Portwenn, the usual cast of characters keeps things lively, with Al accidentally proposing to Morwenna, Mrs. Tishell discovering new happiness and Officer Penhale tumbling into despair. Tune in and see why Doc Martin still holds its own as one of the most delightful treats on television.

Meet the Houstons, partners in basketball, business and life

This KET production chronicles the lives and careers of one of Louisville’s most prominent couples: Alice and Wade Houston. The film follows them from the segregated worlds of their childhoods in Louisville and Alcoa, Tenn., to their adult lives where they both achieved multiple successes in business and sports, to their lifelong friendship with Muhammad Ali. The story is told by a chorus of voices, including their children, relatives and friends, such as former Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, University of Louisville basketball coach Kenny Payne and former UofL star and NBA player Darrell Griffith, as well as business partners, civic leaders and former players whose lives have all been touched by the Houstons’ generosity. The film, which first premiered on KET in February, is funded in part by the KET Endowment for Kentucky Productions.

Documentary examines landslides in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati

Take a deep dive into the history of Cincinnati’s famous hills, and their slow-motion collapse that leads to landslides, exacerbated by development and intense rainstorms. This independent documentary examines what triggers landslides and what it takes to stabilize threatened terrain. Hear from geological experts as well as homeowners, some of whom discovered their insurance typically doesn’t cover landslides, leaving them to choose between a six-figure repair bill or abandoning their property.
