Welcome to KEET
I'm David Gordon, Executive Director of KEET.
KEET has a very proud history of being an important part of life here for over 50 years. We serve our local communities with trusted news and programs that inspire, respect and educate our audience. We deliver this service through multiple outlets, including broadcast and digital media, 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, Alma's Way and Donkey Hodie to Masterpiece, Frontline, NOVA and American Experience. And there are the local productions that you help 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, Harmony in the Eel River Basin, Lost Coast Sessions, North Coast Cuisine, Searchlight Serenade and so much more. That is the essence of what we do: Bring programming of cultural, musical, educational and entertainment significance to people who would otherwise never see them.
We rely on financial support from our members and we would like to add YOU to our public television family. If you are not a member already I hope you'll consider joining as a Sustaining Member today.

Land Acknowledgment
KEET acknowledges that the land on which we are based is unceded territory and traditional ancestral homeland of the Wiyot Tribe.
KEET also acknowledges that the areas we serve include (but are not limited to) the Wiyot, Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Tolowa, Wailaki, Yurok, Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria, and other original inhabitants of Humboldt County.
We respect and share our gratitude to Indigenous communities, and we take this opportunity to thank and honor the original caretakers of land they continue to cherish and protect, as elders have instructed the young through generations.
We encourage those in Wiyot territory to make a contribution to the Honor Tax, a system set up by local non-native people as one way to acknowledge the sacrifices and resiliency of the Wiyot people. Though there is no similar system for other Tribes in the region, we encourage direct giving to Tribes and Native-led efforts.
