Serving up a new season
Follow home cooks as they compete weekly with memorable recipes
In his nine years as host of Kentucky Afield, Chad Miles has covered a lot of ground. As he and his crew travel the state, they highlight the many opportunities for boating, fishing, hunting, kayaking and other outdoor recreation throughout Kentucky.
“We’ve got so many options that vary from the swamps of western Kentucky to the mountains of eastern Kentucky. We try to showcase it all so that people will get outside. It seems like that is something every generation’s missing a little more of, and we want to pull them closer to the outdoors.”
A Bullitt County native, Miles has been an outdoorsman – and KET fan – most of his life. “I was raised in a house with four channels, sometimes five, depending on the weather,” Miles laughs. “KET was one of those channels.
“We enjoyed the outdoor programing – Wild America with Marty Stouffer and Nature. I remember watching certain programs on KET that just got my interest, and they always tended to be the outdoor ones. Anyone who’s watched PBS has probably seen the Dick Proenneke special Alone in the Wilderness; that one is just amazing to watch.”
Combining his love of outdoors as recreation with his love of outdoors as a profession, Miles was thrilled to succeed long-time host Tim Farmer and Dave Shuffett before him. “The Department of Fish and Wildlife, which produces Kentucky Afield, is all about educating not only outdoor enthusiasts, but potential outdoor enthusiasts. KET is all about education across the board, too. Paired up they make such a great team.”
Miles sees strong similarities between beloved KET-produced series Kentucky Life and Kentucky Afield. “The thing that I really like
about KET and Kentucky Afield is we are out there in the wild, in the communities, doing different activities, highlighting different local things. We’re not staged, we’re not written. What I love about a lot of the KET programming is that you can watch and it showcases local places and ideas in a way that you can go out and do yourself. With Kentucky Life, you can go visit the same exact places that they were last week, and you can go experience that same exact thing. We try to do the same thing with Kentucky Afield – we want to make sure everything we do is local and achievable and accessible.”
The experience and education that is provided by the programming on KET is real and achievable — that’s what I really love about KET.
the most beautiful stream I’ve ever seen,’ you can load up in an hour and do the exact same thing that we’re doing on the show. The experience and education that is provided by the programming on KET is real and achievable – that’s what I really love about KET programming. It’s not like some of the TV shows you see right now, they create conflict and fight to make TV… you don’t see that kind of thing on KET.”
-Chad Miles
Miles also sees a refreshing trend on KET. “Unfortunately, a lot of the programming on the thousands of channels that we have right now wants to move in the direction of reality TV. But it’s all staged, it’s all written, it’s all over-produced. But when you watch Tim Farmer’s Country Kitchen or The Farmer & The Foodie, you can produce that exact same meal with your family. It’s the same thing with Kentucky Afield. If you see us floating down a stream and you think ‘wow, that’s
Pointing out that the educational missions of KET and Kentucky Afield also have a lot in common, Miles noted, “KET is the only channel that provides us the statewide reach to all the households in Kentucky. I know the goal of KET is to reach as many people in all 120 counties as possible, to provide that education and quality entertainment to everyone, too. Just like KET we want to offer our program to as many folks as possible, and make sure we aren’t hitting any barriers that prevent us from doing so. KET has been instrumental as a partner making sure we’re sharing what we can teach others to do, to build their confidence, for as many Kentuckians as possible. We really couldn’t do it without them.”
You may have heard some people wondering if public television is needed today because there are so many other choices.
In a world cluttered with hundreds of channels and streaming sources, where you are bombarded with products and sensationalism, shouldn’t there be at least one source dedicated to lifelong learning and your family’s wellbeing? One that is freely available to all and focused on service, not selling and not driven by what will appeal to advertisers?
The loss of federal funding is a severe threat and would compromise KET’s ability to continue serving you and all Kentuckians who have believed in, invested in and built KET into one the best public broadcasting networks in the country.
Only KET serves as the trusted statewide convenor for important conversations on issues and public policy.
Only KET provides free, quality educational children’s programs.
Only KET documents the remarkable stories of Kentucky’s people, places, culture, and events and shares them with the nation.
Only KET provides health information that is practical, understandable, and accessible for every Kentuckian.
The elimination of federal funding is not about what KET might lose, it’s about the loss of programs and services we can provide for you, your family, and all Kentuckians.
No one connects Kentucky like KET. No one serves Kentucky like KET.
We appreciate and thank you for your continued generous support.

Now, rare fossil discoveries are revealing the secrets of bird evolution going back more than 100 million years, telling the story of how some resilient feathered dinos persevered and transformed into the array of colorful bird species that fill our skies today.

KET Executive Director and CEO Shae Hopkins was recently honored with the Dan Miller Station Leadership Award to celebrate nearly four decades of service in public media.
This award recognizes managers in the public media system whose leadership, vision, courage and commitment to the mission of public media have inspired their colleagues and created a lasting impact in their communities. PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger presented the award to Hopkins at the organization’s annual gathering of member stations in May.
“You are an inspiration to us all: constantly building bridges and inviting people in to be part of our mission,” said Kerger.
Under Hopkins’ leadership, programs and services at KET have grown to more than two million viewers and users each week.
KET will be in Somerset July 8-11 for the first of a series of summer visits to local communities. Kentucky Edition will be produced at the Center for Rural Development, as well as an episode of Kentucky Tonight. Local interest stories will be covered by host Renee Shaw throughout the week, shedding a spotlight on Somerset and the region.
With a heavy heart we share the passing of Friends member Romanza Johnson, of Bowling Green. Romanza joined the Friends of KET in 1980, serving on the executive committee for many years, and as president from 1995-1996. Romanza was recognized for her outstanding leadership and service to KET with the O. Leonard Press Award in 2005. Romanza was an inspiration and friend who will be dearly missed.
