CALIFORNIA CONNECTED (http://www.californiaconnected.org) is a weekly news magazine program with an eye toward connecting people in the state through strong storytelling. Produced through a unique collaboration between KQED-San Francisco, KCET-Los Angeles, KVIE-Sacramento and KPBS-San Diego, CALIFORNIA CONNECTED is seen throughout the entire state on local PBS stations Thursday nights at 10:00 PM and repeats Sundays at 1:00 PM on KQED Public Television 9. It also airs throughout the week on digital channels KQED Encore and KQED World (please see http://www.kqed.org/dtv for more information on KQED's digital channels).
The SPARK Web site (http://www.kqed.org/spark), is a companion to the weekly television show and educational outreach program by the same name. More than a showcase for art objects and the artists who make them, SPARK takes the audience inside the creative process to witness the challenges, opportunities and rewards of making art. The SPARK Web site broadens the program's audience and attracts international attention to Bay Area arts with its mix of fresh behind-the-scenes content, arts resources, and streaming video. SPARK can be seen on KQED Public Television 9 Wednesdays at 7:30 PM, with repeats Fridays at 11:00 PM. It also airs throughout the week on digital channels KQED Encore and KQED Life.
A complete list of all the awardees can be seen on the Web site of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, San Francisco/Northern California Chapter at www.emmysf.tv.
