Transmission and Reach Into Neighboring States
Louisville's WKPC and WKMJ are the only KET stations to have their transmitters outside of Kentucky—their transmitters are located at the Tower Farm in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, just north of New Albany. Because of its location and signal strength (according to FCC data), WKPC and WKMJ cover more of Indiana than Kentucky.
In addition to the reach of WKPC and WKMJ, several of KET's other stations are viewed in significant portions of Kentucky's neighboring states as well:
- WKAS (Ashland) - serves a portion of southeastern Ohio (including Ironton and Portsmouth) and the Huntington, West Virginia area
- WKGB (Bowling Green) - serves the northernmost communities of Middle Tennessee, including Portland and Cross Plains
- WCVN (Covington) - serves a large portion of southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana, including the Cincinnati area
- WKHA (Hazard) - serves a portion of westernmost Virginia
- WKMU (Murray) - serves a portion of northwestern Tennessee, including the cities of Union City, Martin and Paris
- WKOH (Owensboro/Henderson) - serves several southwestern Indiana counties, including the Evansville area
- WKON (Owenton) - serves the southeasternmost corner of Indiana (including the Madison area)
- WKPD (Paducah) - serves a small portion of southeastern Missouri (including Cape Girardeau) and the southernmost counties in Illinois
- WKPI (Pikeville) - serves portions of southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia
- WKSO (Somerset) - serves portions of northern Tennessee

Famous quotes containing the words reach, neighboring and/or states:
“For me, the child is a veritable image of becoming, of possibility, poised to reach towards what is not yet, towards a growing that cannot be predetermined or prescribed. I see her and I fill the space with others like her, risking, straining, wanting to find out, to ask their own questions, to experience a world that is shared.”
—Maxine Greene (20th century)
“[T]he Congregational minister in a neighboring town definitely stated that ‘the same spirit which drove the herd of swine into the sea drove the Baptists into the water, and that they were hurried along by the devil until the rite was performed.’”
—For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
