Press release from KEET-TV:

KEET-TV’s Winter Fundraising Drive takes place from November 27 to December 5th and we are so excited to present special fundraising programs that have been created this season.

As you know, PBS provides news, conversation, and information with shows like PBS NewsHour, Frontline, and Amanpour & Company. You can watch programs about our planet and the universe with shows like NOVA and Nature. And let’s not forget great dramas like All Creatures Great and Small, Call the Midwife and A Place to Call Home. KEET also airs documentaries from Independent Lens, POV, Ken Burns, American Experience and so many more.

All of the shows listed above are why we ask you to support KEET-TV, especially during our quarterly fundraising drives. It costs money to pay for all of the programs you rely on for information, education, and entertainment.

During the Winter Fundraising Drive, we travel back in time with a KEET favorite Lawrence Welk’s Big Band Splash, airing on Sunday November 28 at 6 p.m.

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra

A week later on Sunday, December 5 at 6 p.m. it’s the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas Show filmed in 1967, and not seen in its entirety since its original airing on December 21, 1967. Frank and Dean give viewers a special present with a medley of many of their most beloved songs. They’re joined by an all-star cast of friends and family that include Nancy Sinatra, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Tina Sinatra, Claudia Martin, Craig Martin, Dean Paul Martin, Deana Martin, Gail Martin, Gina Martin, Ricci Martin, Jeanne Martin (Mrs. Dean Martin) and Sammy Davis, Jr.

The Winter Fundraising Drive provides you with music from the best-selling soprano Sarah Brightman in Sarah Brightman: A Christmas Symphony, a celebration of the holidays from Christ Church Spitalfields in London. It airs Monday November 29 at 8 p.m. On Tuesday, November 30 at 8 p.m. watch The Tenors: Best of Our Lives. Then at 9:30 you have a chance to watch The Best of Live from the Old Steeple, filmed in Ferndale.
