    • Sat 1/28: planned maintenance at Sutro Tower, SF

      Sutro Tower needs all stations transmitting from there to switch to their auxillary antennas on Saturday (1/28) morning by 8am so they can do some tower work. This includes KQED’s DT9 signal. They hope to be done by noon. Most OTA viewers should see little or no change in their reception during this time, but [...]

    • Tues 1/24: KQET DT25 digitization problem resolved

      As of 1:45pm Tuesday 1/24, we believe the KQET digitization issues affecting Channel 25′s signal delivery to viewers in the 831 area via most paid service providers have been solved. Other carriers are confirming a good signal. (Over The Air viewers and Comcast Cable customers were not affected by the problem.)

    • Mon 1/23: KQET DT25 digitization problem has returned

      The storm and high winds took our KQET transmitter on Fremont Peak Off the Air a couple times Saturday, and our digitization problem has returned. What is perplexing is that Over The Air (OTA) viewers are reporting a solid signal, and are not having the pixelation and audio problems that other viewers in the 831 [...]

Schedule Changes

The following changes have taken place since KQED's On Q magazine went to press. Depending on when these changes were made, other print media (newspapers, TV Guide, etc.) may or may not reflect these corrections. Our KQED website daily listings will reflect changes listed below within 24 hours of being posted here.

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.

  • KQED World Tues 1/31 9:30p (& repeat)

    Tues 1/31 9:30pm and Wed 2/1 3:30am
    cancel Tavis Smiley #2527
    (still airs on KQED Plus late Tues/early Wed midnight, KQED World Wed 1:30pm, and KQED TV9 Wed 2pm)
    add Florida Primary: A PBS NewsHour Special Report

  • 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.
