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:
“If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language. Whether your vehicle be commerce, literature, or politics, you can do nothing but raise signals, and make motions to the people.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
