This Web page, which is not affiliated with KQED, offers examples of KQED’s past inhouse produced broadcast television programming, for educational purposes.

Videos include the KQED Newsroom Finale, Linda Ronstadt and Pink Floyd at the KQED Studios, Bill Graham, Tony Tiano and Paul Kantner at the 1989 Earthquake Relief Concert Press Conference, a tribute to KQED’s Belva Davis produced by Judy Woodruff, and more. To find more KQED programming, visit San Francisco State University’s online DIVA archives and search for “KQED”.

The KQED Board and KQED Management once used our member dollars and donations to produce extraordinary local, radio and television programming, using inhouse production staff, all broadcast free on-air. If you want KQED to produce more television and radio programming, please let KQED know. (I never Pledged before indicating how I wanted my Pledge dollars to be spent, by first contacting KQED Membership.)
