WKYT’s Kentucky Newsmakers features candidates for Kentucky House District 45, Killian Timoney and Adam Moore

Kentucky Newsmakers on WKYT aired Sunday, Oct. 11, with Bill Bryant interviewing the candidates for Kentucky House District 45, a state legislative seat now occupied by incumbent Rep. Adam Moore. The episode presented the candidates side by side, giving voters a single, statewide broadcast forum to hear each man’s case for the district and to respond to questions from the host.

On the Republican side, Bryant spoke with Killian Timoney, described by WKYT as a former state representative. In the interview, Timoney discussed his approach to the job of state lawmaker and addressed questions directed at his perspective on how the district should be represented in Frankfort.

Moore, the Democratic incumbent, also participated in the broadcast interview. WKYT described Moore as the sitting representative for District 45, and the program included his answers to questions about his service and what he says he would prioritize moving forward if voters choose to keep him in office.

The program format was built around direct questioning from the host, rather than a debate stage or campaign rally setting. By airing interviews in the Kentucky Newsmakers slot, WKYT gave each candidate an opportunity to lay out his outlook in the same broadcast context, including responses to the kinds of issues that typically come up in state House races.

The episode’s release date, Oct. 11, places the candidate introductions and contrasts in the public record well ahead of Election Day, allowing the campaign to be evaluated through what each candidate said on air. For voters in District 45, the interview serves as a reference point for comparing experience, record, and future priorities as the race moves into its later stages.

Neither candidate’s positions were characterized in the WKYT episode description with specific policy details, but the public record of the program reflects a straightforward matchup: Timoney as a former Republican lawmaker and Moore as the current Democratic officeholder. With the seat at stake, the interviews offer a structured way for residents to assess how each candidate frames the role of a state representative for the district’s communities.
