TODAY’S KET Many of you may have seen the recent news about a court ruling pertaining to federal funding for PBS and wondered what it means for KET. In late March, a court ruled that provisions of the President’s 2025 executive order directing federal agencies to restrict or terminate funding for PBS and NPR were unconstitutional and constituted viewpoint discrimination and retaliation, in violation of the First Amendment.

While this is a significant ruling, it is important to note that it is unrelated to the congressional elimination of funding and does not restore federal funding.

Most of the federal funding that came to stations like KET was appropriated by Congress, not the executive branch for which this ruling applies – which means your support continues to be more important than ever!

We appreciate and thank you for your concern and contributions that have been essential during this extraordinarily volatile time.

With your continued support, KET will be here to serve you and your family with educational programs that inform and inspire.

Sincerely,

COVER STORY

CELEBRATING

AN ICON

As the legendary David Attenborough prepares to celebrate his 100th birthday this month, we’re looking back at some of his most incredible adventures.

For the first time, the curtain is pulled back to give viewers behind-the-scenes insights into the production of the groundbreaking Life on Earth series, first broadcast in 1982. Follow along as Attenborough embarks on a three-year odyssey around the world.

Under threat from natural elements and foreign militaries, his journey covers 1 million miles, 36 countries and 600 animal species.

Over the years, his appetite for exploration hasn’t waned as he’s come face to face with a ferocious Jurassic sea monster, catalogued some of the most remarkable animal songs found in nature and brought to life the story of a 200-million-year-old sea – all adventures you’ll find on air this month.

Explore the world and celebrate Attenborough’s iconic career all month on KET!

SHORT TAKES

Cheers to 250 Years!

It's going to be a red, white and blue salute to America's 250th anniversary on Saturday, June 6 at Donamire Farm in Lexington. Join KET and Honorary Chair and history buff Dr. Ryan Quarles, president of KCTCS, for an evening of endless hospitality, silent auction, dancing to The Crashers — and no speeches!

Thanks for waving the stars and stripes in support of KET's programs and services.

For sponsorships, tickets an information: KET.org/SummerCelebration.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood KET held Be My Neighbor Day at Lexington Public Library’s Marksbury Family Branch in March. The event celebrated ways to be a caring neighbor, featured a meet-and-greet with Daniel Tiger, and introduced families to community helpers like first responders.

A SUCCESS THANKS TO YOU! Thank you for supporting KET during TeleFund. Your gift makes possible your favorite programs on KET, including Masterpiece, PBS News Hour, Finding Your Roots and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. We appreciate everyone who donated as well as our generous community partners.

Justin Posey, of Toyota Kentucky, joined KET in the studio during TeleFund.
