Visions June 2025 by KETv

Dramatic prehistoric stories come to life in new series

HISTORYPreserving

or Doug Boyd, Ph.D., director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky, his introduction to KET was different than most.

Boyd, a Kentucky transplant, first connected with KET through one of our most well-known personalities.

Having spent his career

capturing stories that define who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going, Boyd says the work of oral history is not just for history researchers, it’s something to be enjoyed and accessible to all. That’s where he sees a natural parallel with what KET does.

“KET is about enlightenment,” he said. “It is about featuring stories that really illuminate what is best

about the people and the culture in Kentucky.”

Boyd notes how KET brings together education, news, cultural programming, history and access, making it uniquely positioned to reflect and preserve Kentucky’s identity, both past and present. “You bring all those things together into the package that is KET,” Boyd said, “and KET is just such a

KET is about ENLIGHTENMENT.

valuable asset to this state.”

As Boyd’s own work has always centered on making stories more accessible and meaningful, he appreciates and has even participated in documentaries and other programs focused on history, particularly those that showcase the voices and experiences of Kentuckians. “For me, being a historian and working in the history business, I’ve gravitated towards the history aspects of KET, which are amazing. Whenever there’s a historical documentary airing [on KET], I’m all in.”

Boyd is appreciative – even sentimental – about the role KET has played in his life here. “I’ve been here my entire adult life; giving me a general informational sense of being able to connect with KentuckyKET has really helped me be able to forge that identity.”

A self-proclaimed devotee of the weekly public affairs series Comment on Kentucky, Boyd is confident in the information he receives from the host and guests. “The conversations that are happening there, especially in a time with so much media division – coming to KET is very comforting and trustworthy for me. I know what I’m hearing is straight talk, something that I can trust and take away as real and accurate and meaningful.”

The shared importance of the

-Doug Boyd, Ph.D.

work the Nunn Center for Oral History does in comparison with the careful collection and curation of Kentucky’s stories that KET produces are both roles Dr. Boyd recognizes as crucial parts of today’s modern media landscape.

As someone who has spent decades preserving Kentucky’s stories and watching the evolution of documentary processes, Boyd doesn’t offer this praise lightly. “It’s [historical preservation] about education, it’s about storytelling, it’s about information. It’s about something larger - a collective recording and understanding of who we are as a people and as a place, of how we got here. And you bring all those things together into the package that is KET.”

TODAY’S KET

As of press time for this issue of Visions , we have seen multiple threats to our federal funding and feel a responsibility to try to keep you informed. These include a pending Rescission Package and Executive Order.

Alarmingly, the FY2026 budget submitted by the President did not include any funding for Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

In another action, the U.S. Department of Education abruptly terminated all funding for Ready To Learn (RTL), which has supported the creation of proven educational children’s programs for more than 30 years, including Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow

All of these are deeply concerning as the loss of funding would fundamentally change KET’s operations and impact the productions and services we provide for you and your family.

The elimination of all CPB funding would substantially diminish our ability to provide you with the unique, local programs that capture, preserve and share Kentucky’s history and everything that makes our Commonwealth special.

Remember, your voice matters. It remains critical for members of Congress to hear from you. Please visit KET.org/Impact for more information.

We appreciate and thank you for all the ways you support KET’s programs and services.

Sincerely,

Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEO
