    • 7/14-15 (& maybe 7/18) Sutro Tower work

      Weather/fog/wind did NOT permit the Sutro Tower inspection work originally planned for last Saturday 7/09 (see post below). In addition, there is a day needed for installation of equipment.

What happened to the old KTEH schedules on this page?
In order to provide a more accurate online schedule to our viewers, we have discontinued the former KTEH listings powered by TV Guide data. The KQED.org schedules use a more timely system.

Changes to Preview Magazine
Please note, as of July 2011, Preview has been replaced by a new member publication. On Q includes daily schedules for both KQED Plus and KQED as well as for KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM.

 KQED Plus (formerly KTEH) Television Schedule

 


Where's KCAH, what's KQET and where are my programs?
In August 2007, KCAH (Monterey/Salinas/Watsonville) was renamed KQET. After a series of Town Hall meetings in January and subsequent audience research, KQET's schedule changed as of October 1, 2007 and no longer mirrors KTEH. This shift provides viewers with even more quality program choices. Effective June 30, 2008, KQET's schedule mirrors KQED.
