One of Kentucky’s two U.S. Senate seats and five of the state’s six U.S. House seats were contested in the fall of 2004. KET invited all of the candidates whose names appeared on the ballot in those contested races to participate in candidate forums originating from our studios.

In the forums, moderated by KET’s Bill Goodman, candidates answer questions from journalists and, where applicable, from one another. The forums are all available for online viewing; click on a title below to view an archived program.

You will need RealPlayer® to access the video; see our help page for more information.
