Canceled: KEET: My Community's PBS Station

We're sorry: This event has been canceled. It will be postponed to a later date. Please check back.

Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with David Gordon, Executive Director, KEET:

The executive director of Eureka's public television station KEET will provide a short history of KEET and the future of the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).

KEET has a very proud history of being an important part of Humboldt life for over 55 years. It serves the local communities with trusted news and programs that inspire, respect, and educate its audience. KEET delivers this service through multiple outlets, including broadcast and digital media, while adapting to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. KEET provides five distinct channels of programming: KEET-HD; PBS Kids; Create; FN/X (First Nations Experience); and World. These five channels include everything from Sesame Street to PBS News Hour. And there are local productions that viewers make possible, like the Telly Award-winning Addicts Among Us, Headline Humboldt, Studio Space, What's On Your Bucket List, Live from the Old Steeple, Searchlight Serenade, and so much more. That is the essence of what KEET does: It brings programs of cultural, musical, educational, and entertainment significance to people who would otherwise never see them.

This event has been canceled. The presentation will be offered at a later date.

Born in New Orleans, David Gordon has lived and worked all over the U.S. in a broadcasting career spanning six decades. He has served stations in Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Louisiana, and now California. For the past eight years, he has been the executive director of KEET, which is his first public television (or any kind of TV) job; he worked over 40 years in public radio.
