By Joan C. McKinney, news and publications coordinator
CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Campbellsville University’s “Dialogue on Public Issues” TV show hosted by John Chowning will be aired on KET KY beginning June 1.
The shows feature prominent newsmakers in the state and nation. Chowning, who is vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president at Campbellsville University, is the host for the show which airs on TV-4 Comcast Cable Channel 10.
However, after talking with Kentucky Educational Television, CU has provided KET with the programs that will now be aired on the KET KY Channel.
“This is another opportunity to help get the word out to the public about the mission and work of Campbellsville University,” Chowning said.
“I am personally honored that KET deems these shows news worthy, and it further reflects back on the quality work of Jim Wooley, Ed McGuire Jeannie Clark, and our student workers who produce ‘Dialogue on Public
Issues.’
“We continue to have some very fine guests who have stories to share, issues to discuss and insight that is of interest to our viewers. We will continue to work hard to present interviews that are of interest and that present diverse perspectives on the many issues we face in the 21st century.”
The KET KY Channel is on the high definition channels on Comcast Cable Channels 237-239.
