FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Historical Society is launching a new television program called “Kentucky Ancestors Town Hall.” A statement from the Kentucky Historical Society says the show will debut Feb. 20 on WTVQ in Lexington and then on other channels around the state over the following week.

Five episodes of the program will air between February and June.
