In this presidential election year, Kentuckians are also voting in six U.S. House races and a U.S. Senate race. KET has invited all of the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot in these congressional races to participate in live forums originating from our studios.

The forums are moderated by KET’s Bill Goodman, and candidates answer questions from a panel of journalists.

All broadcast times listed below are on KET1. The forums also encore at various times on KET KY, the Kentucky Channel; see the complete broadcast schedule for details.

Forums are archived online following their initial broadcast. Click on a title in the list below to watch that forum (Windows Media® or RealVideo® format).
