| KQED Looks Back on 70 Years |  |
| | When KQED went on the air on April 5, 1954, it was one of a handful of stations in a new field referred to as the “educational TV movement.” Conceived initially as a teaching tool, the station quickly broadened its scope to include entertainment and public affairs programming. KQED’s call letters were suggested by Beverly Day, the wife of station cofounder James Day. The QED is Latin for "quod erat demonstrandum" meaning “thus it has been demonstrated.”
