Kentucky Life is a television program on Kentucky Educational Television (KET) that features profiles of people, places and ideas of Kentucky.[1] Founded in 1995, its mission was to help Kentuckians celebrate unique and regional characters and cultures. By May 1996, Kentucky Life was KET's most watched local production.

The first five seasons were hosted by Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Byron Crawford.[1] Outdoorsman and television veteran Dave Shuffett, former host of Kentucky Afield, hosted Kentucky Life from season six to 20.[2]

Awards

Kentucky Life was awarded a regional Emmy Award from the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on August 2, 2014 in the Human Interest Program category for "Double Dan Horsemanship," a feature on world-renowned horse trainers in Nicholasville, Kentucky.[3]
