Support KET

To the Editor:

As fall begins, with leaves turning vibrant colors of red, orange, and yellow, weekend football games, and longer, cooler evenings, I am reminded that we are entering a new season of enriching programming and robust educational services offered through Kentucky Educational Television (KET).

Committed to education, KET continues its rich tradition of bringing trusted, world-class digital learning to Kentucky classrooms. In addition, KET provides distance learning courses in Physics, Latin, German, and soon Chinese, early childhood education resources and training, GED preparation courses, and more serving all ages.

Accessible to public schools and classrooms across the state, KET works to support, innovation, student achievement and critical thinking skills necessary for Kentuckians to compete in a global economy.

With the election season underway, remember, KET provides the most comprehensive, independent coverage of the candidates and election results. In addition, KET brings into our homes the best arts and performance programs from around the world, for all of us to enjoy.

KET depends on a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to help bring excellent, high-quality programming to Kentucky. If you value KET, I encourage you to get involved. Join www.170millionAmericans to receive information about public broadcasting and its funding. Your voice does matter.

KET is a state treasure that must be protected and supported. I hope you will join with me in support of KET’s educational mission and public service to ALL Kentuckians.

    I've had good conversations with those on both sides of the wet/dry issue including pastors and most agree this issue is not about religion except on an individual level.

  • Wet-dry vote will affect entire county

    Most of us are acquainted with the phrase "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." That must be the mindset of the powers that be who made the rule that only the Grayson precincts get to vote on the upcoming issue of 'wet or dry'.
