KPBS
Description
It started with a donated Transmitter and the vision of one man. In the early 1950s, Kenneth K. Jones, a professor in the speech arts department at San Diego State College (now San Diego State University), proposed the revolutionary idea that the college create and operate an educational broadcasting station. With a start-up budget of $6,370 and an FM transmitter donated by KFMB Radio, San Diego State commenced broadcasting at 89.5 FM on September 12, 1960.
This new station was called KEBS (as in “Educational Broadcasting in San Diego”) and its earliest broadcasts lasted a mere two-and-a-half hours a day.
KEBS Television, Channel 15, debuted on June 25, 1967. IN 1969 the Public Broadcasting Service was born. Sooner than anyone else thought of it, KEBS applied for a new set of call letters. Thus, in 1970, our radio and television stations came to be known as KPBS. That was the same year KPBS sent out its first programming guide, now known as On Air Magazine.
