KET’s History and Its Importance to Kentucky
Todd Piccirilli, Senior Director of Marketing
KET
KET began with the idea that television could be used to provide access to quality educational materials for everyone, no matter their location or circumstance. Fornearly 60 years, KET has served the people of Kentucky and beyond with a variety educational programs and services, and today two million people each week rely on KET. While the media landscape has changed dramatically over the decades, KET's mission remains steady.
