At KET, we’re off and running with our winter pledge drive which runs through December 4th.

There are a lot of tremendous programs to watch all week. To help us continue bringing you the best in entertainment, education, and public affairs programs all year long, we also hope you’ll take a little time to invest in KET with your financial support. This week you can watch for a tribute to the Beatles, Riverdance, new Celtic Woman, and much more.

Personally, I think one of our best gifts to you will be an opportunity to spend an evening with our old KET friend Al Smith and his new memoir, Wordsmith: My Life in Journalism. Al, the decades-long host of Comment on Kentucky, will sit down with me for a special taping of One to One and you can be a part of the audience. All week, you’ll be given a chance to call or email KET and receive a ticket to the taping of the show on January 12th and a copy of Al’s book. Al will talk—a lot—about his book and his life and you’ll get a chance to have him autograph your book, too. And, we’ll have a reception before the taping where ticket holders, Al, and I will mix and mingle.

This has been quite a year for KET and the public affairs department with the election, candidate forums, conversations with the Kentucky congressional delegation, and more. We want to thank you for your support.

Let us know if you want us to continue this kind of journalism next year. There’s no better way to do that than to call in and reserve a seat for the taping on One to One with Al. I guarantee it’ll be fun and informative! I hope to hear from you this week and see you in January.
