Chip Polston, who was named the new host of Kentucky Life earlier this year, said he’s thrilled to be exploring the Commonwealth for a program he’s enjoyed for decades.

“As a lifelong Kentuckian, the opportunity to go out and tell stories about my home is beyond exciting to me,” Polston said. “I can’t wait to get out into our beautiful Commonwealth and meet the fascinating people who make this state so special. And there’s no better place this could happen for me – I’ve been a part of the KET family going back more than two decades, and to get the opportunity to work with some of the absolute best broadcast professionals in the state is incredibly exciting.”
