Programming
The channel's programming includes Franklin County local government programming, local high-school sports (e.g. Basketball, Football, Soccer, Volleyball), as well as football and basketball games involving the college sports programs of Kentucky State University, who compete in the NCAA Division II's Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.[2][3] It also places heavy focus on local community events and the history of the city itself. Among its sizable programming archive includes various pageants from the Franklin County Fair and walking tours conducted by local Frankfort personalities and members of the city's department on parks, recreation and historic sites. FPB-TV also records and airs each local high school's commencement ceremonies in early June.
Bulletin board
When not airing local programming, the channel airs a bulletin board of upcoming community events, announcements and organization meetings. Next to these announcements are two information panes showing FPB hours, phone numbers for various FPB departments and other company-related services. Also included is a simple weather widget containing current conditions and short-term forecasts.
Emergency Alert System
FPB-TV's SD channel 10 is used as the system-wide Emergency Alert System channel for FPB cable. When the EAS is activated, cable boxes are automatically tuned to channel 10. DTA and QAM tuner users, however, are not automatically switched and SD viewers only see a red scrolling bar on the screen with the EAS audio interrupting the program.
