KQED, KQED Plus, and KQET Schedule Changes

• Differences in outside listings with KQED broadcasts

  Paid service providers such as cable or satellite companies, and other scheduling sources such as newspapers or online websites, buy their guide data from outside listing companies. KQED sends correct listings information for all of our programming streams to these listing companies 5-8 weeks in advance. This includes info for KQED, KQED Plus, KQED Life, KQED World and KQED Kids.

  Unfortunately, the listings companies are not always up-to-date with the data that comes from local independent stations (PBS or otherwise) which set their own local schedules, rather than follow a “cookie cutter” national pattern, as most national networks and channels do. So it is not unusual for onscreen guides, newspapers, etc. to have listings for 1 or more KQED channels that do not accurately reflect our schedule, and do not reflect the information that we sent out well in advance of the broadcast date.

  KQED’s own website will always have the most accurate information. The same database that runs our Master Control area also populates our website. This change page will report the changes that have been made since OnQ, our supporting members’ program guide, went to the printer, and since our schedule data was sent to the outside listings companies. The only differences will be those rare technical problems, as described in the “unannounced changes” posting below.

• Jan. ’12: Ebert at the Movies going on hiatus

  The producers of Ebert at the Movies have decided to postpone the launch of their third season while they work on gathering more funding for the series. A return date for the series is not known at this time. Time slots on KQED TV9 and KQED Life will be filled with several other series starting January 7th, as now listed on our daily schedule web pages for the two channels.

• KQED/KQED Plus unannounced program changes

  Once in awhile, there will be last-minute program changes which will not be noted on this page. Occasionally, there are incidents when our automation equipment simply refuses to play a program. The show is queued up ready to go, but when the start time hits, it simply refuses to play. So the engineers scramble to find a similar program already in the memory bank to air as a substitute, and there’s no chance to post anything about the change on this page.

  If you don’t see any notes below regarding the program you’re interested in, feel free to email tv@kqed.org when you notice one of these unannounced changes, and we will check with the programming folks to find out whether or not the program will be rescheduled relatively quickly, or simply allowed to come back up in its next normal rotation spot.

• Best of KQED / KQED Plus

  As programs are selected for our fundraising time, the daily schedules for all channels will be updated. Please visit the Daily Schedules for those days to see the latest line-ups – use the calendar on the right to select individual days.
