Producing with KQED
KQED prides itself as a home and resource for independent producers.
We rely on the creative and resourceful spirit of the Bay Area community to help create public television productions that inform, entertain, and inspire our viewers. It is our desire to draw upon and promote native talent both locally and nationally.
How to Present with KQED
Local Broadcast - Each year KQED programs content produced by independents for local broadcast. We seek to bring the breadth and range of Bay Area cultures and perspectives to our local viewers.
National Distribution - For a fee, KQED Presents, KQED's distribution division, works with independent filmmakers to bring completed and fully-financed productions to the national public broadcasting system.
