The Kentucky Channel, also known by its Program and System Information Protocol short name and on-screen logo bug as KET KY, is a full-time 24/7 statewide digital television programming service originating from PBS member state-network Kentucky Educational Television. The channel features programming related to the U.S. state of Kentucky (with some programming relevant to surrounding states such as Tennessee, Indiana or Virginia), as well as coverage of Kentucky General Assembly when it is in session.
It is carried on the third digital subchannel of all fifteen (15) of KET's main satellite stations, and on the second digital subchannel of Louisville-based KET2 station WKMJ-TV.[1][2] The channel is programmed and broadcast from the O. Leonard Press Telecommunications Center at 600 Cooper Drive in Lexington, Kentucky.
