Independent TV/Film Producers: Bring Your Story to the National Stage with KQED Presents

KQED Presents is a fee-for-service distribution partner, representing exceptional independent films and series to the national public media marketplace.

Major public television distributors—including PBS, American Public Television (APT), and the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA)—frequently require or recommend that independent producers secure a presenting station partner.

As your presenting station, KQED shepherds your program through the entire public media distribution lifecycle. We ensure your project successfully clears the technical, legal, and editorial frameworks necessary to premiere on PBS stations across the country.

We highly suggest that before submitting, you read through this deck explaining our services and how public television distribution works. You can find many of the past projects we have presented here.
