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:
“And what avails it that science has come to treat space and time as simply forms of thought, and the material world as hypothetical, and withal our pretension of property and even of self-hood are fading with the rest, if, at last, even our thoughts are not finalities, but the incessant flowing and ascension reach these also, and each thought which yesterday was a finality, to-day is yielding to a larger generalization?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Who knows but this hill may one day be a Helvellyn, or even a Parnassus, and the Muses haunt here, and other Homers frequent the neighboring plains?... It was a place where gods might wander, so solemn and solitary, and removed from all contagion with the plain.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
