KQED has a long history of creating programs that reflect our region’s culture and inspire our community. Whether you’ve been with us for years or just discovered us yesterday, we want you to join us in celebrating KQED’s role in the past, present and future of Northern California.

For over 65 years, KQED has been bringing you quality local news and entertainment that keeps you coming back. Since the station’s inception (broadcasting on television just two days a week!), KQED has been committed to growing with you and our region.

Public media in Northern California has come a long way, and the future is bright. We’re proud to be your trusted source for accessible, independent programming. From our top TV shows like Finding Your Roots and PBS NewsHour to our best audio programs like Forum and Morning Edition, we’ll continue to bring you exceptional fact-driven coverage, wherever you are.

Thank you for helping KQED become the essential source of news and entertainment that we are today. Here’s to embracing new ways of learning and keeping the Bay Area informed for many years to come!
