KQED

This year, KQED is celebrating 70 years of service! We hit the radio waves in 1954, but on this day in 1955, something special happened: we held our very first fundraising auction.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈 Each June, #PrideMonth recognizes the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally. It's a time to celebrate the triumphs of the community, memorialize those who were lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS and much more. We asked KQED staff what Pride Month means to them.

KQED is proud to announce that we received three Regional #Murrow awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) last month for the News Documentary, Newscast and Investigative Reporting categories! The Murrow Awards are the embodiment of the values, principles and standards set forth by Edward R. Murrow, a journalism pioneer who set the standards for the highest quality of broadcast journalism. Congratulations to all of our teams for their wins in their respective categories!

Before our Pledge Drives, KQED had auctions. These auctions were held to raise money for our station and were a combined effort of staff, volunteers, and celebrity auctioneers. If you're an old-school KQED viewer, you might even remember the auction's two funky mascots, Qued and Phred. Here's a peek into the strange things that were auctioned off! Today is the LAST DAY of May Pledge! Tap the link to donate and learn more about how you can support: https://lnkd.in/d9HKAwA8

It's AAPI Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and reflect on the the roles that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have played in our history. It's also a time to recognize the struggles and triumphs that AAPI folks have faced, including those within our own communities. We asked some KQED staff members what the month meant to them.
