WKPC-TV (channel 15) is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station licensed to Louisville, Kentucky, United States.

[4] In 1967, the public library transferred the station, which by that time had joined National Educational Television, to the school system of Jefferson County.

[9] The board's decision not to sell prompted a competing applicant, Metropolitan Louisville Public Television, Inc. (MLPTV), to file for channel 15 as well, mutually exclusive with a renewal for WKPC-TV.

The station moved into a former General Electric facility not far from its previous studios, borrowing $2.1 million to make the purchase; it also sprouted a string of for-profit subsidiaries, such as Team One, which provided production and teleconferencing services.

[17] However, the new ventures, designed to brace for potential cuts to federal support of public broadcasting, caused expenses to soar, and the station was unable to attract tenants to fill the rest of the 103,000-square-foot (9,600 m2) building.

[20] An agreement was reached in December 1996,[18] by which KET acquired certain technical assets, including the land to the Floyds Knobs tower it still shared with WKPC-TV, and the license.

[21] For viewers in the rest of Kentucky, the merger brought several schedule changes, as KET shuffled its lineup to accommodate some programs that it did not air but which channel 15 had broadcast before ceasing independent operations.

On August 19, 1999, the station's digital signal was activated by then-governor Paul E. Patton during the opening ceremonies of that year's Kentucky State Fair.
