KQED Public Radio Productions
The California Report
KQED Public Radio, in collaboration with public radio stations throughout California, launched The California Report, a statewide radio news program, on October 2, 1995. Distributed by satellite from KQED, The California Report provides daily coverage of issues, trends and public policy decisions affecting California and its diverse population. Hosted by Scott Shafer, the program is carried by 25 public radio stations from Arcata to San Diego, plus more than 25 public radio station translators and repeaters across the state. In addition to a nine-minute daily morning edition, The California Report broadcasts a weekly half-hour Friday afternoon magazine edition, bringing listeners in-depth analysis of the week's top news stories from around the state. Many local station reporters are regular contributors to the program, which has bureaus in San Jose, Sacramento, Los Angeles and Fresno, in addition to its headquarters in San Francisco.
A special series produced by The California Report -- Health Dialogues -- engages listeners in an ongoing discussion about California healthcare issues that are important to underserved people -- children, low-income residents, minorities, people with disabilities, immigrants, and communities of rural and migrant workers in particular. The series seeks to foster dialogue among communities, healthcare providers and policymakers. The statewide one-hour call in show airs at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month.
Forum
Approaching its 15th anniversary and hosted by Michael Krasny, this popular two-hour weekday program airs live at 9 a.m. Krasny presents informed, wide-ranging discussions of local, state, national and international issues as well as in-depth interviews with leaders in politics, science, entertainment and the arts. Listeners are encouraged to call in to participate, and to engage the host and guests.

Perspectives
Perspectives is KQED 88.5 FM's series of daily commentaries written and voiced by Bay Area residents. Essays cover a broad range of social and political issues, cultural observations, and personal experiences of interest to KQED's Northern California audience. Presenting fresh and insightful commentary that gives listeners a reason to pause, to think, to laugh and to consider life from the many points of view that make up our community, Perspectives is one way in which KQED works to keep the public in public radio.
