KTEH is a public television station in San Jose, California, serving the San Francisco Bay Area as a PBS member station on channel 54. The station is owned by Northern California Public Broadcasting with sister-station KQED, and also operates a satellite station, KCAH on channel 25, licensed to Watsonville. KCAH serves as the PBS member station for the Monterrey/Salinas market. KTEH began broadcasting in 1964, and is known to run programming not commonly aired on other commercial or public television stations, such as anime and British television series.
KTEH merges KQED
On May 1, 2006, KQED and the KTEH Foundation agreed to merge to form Northern California Public Broadcasting.[1]
Trivia
- Starting in April 1981, KTEH started showing the British science-fantasy show Doctor Who, and continued to do so until January of 2003. On April 10, 2007, KTEH resumed airing "Doctor Who" with the 2005 series starring Chrisopher Eccleston.
- KTEH has also aired another British sci-fi show, Red Dwarf. In 1998, KTEH managed to get the entire season of Red Dwarf VIII and aired the entire season in one night. In doing so, many episodes were in fact shown on KTEH before British television.
- KTEH was also the first to air Neon Genesis Evangelion (rated TV-14, TV-PG, and TV-MA; subtitled) in America, as well as the Tenchi Universe (rated TV-PG, dubbed) TV series. These shows were later shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block.
- Other anime that have aired on KTEH include Dirty Pair Flash (rated TV-PG; subbed), All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (rated TV-PG; subbed), Sakura Wars (rated TV-PG; subbed), Serial Experiments Lain (rated TV-PG, dubbed), City Hunter (rated TV-14; dubbed), Please Save My Earth (rated TV-14; dubbed), and Urusei Yatsura (rated TV-PG and TV-14; subbed).
- KTEH maintains a very successful Technical Volunteer program (currently headed by Molly Gee). It has allowed volunteers to learn how to operate cameras, audio, shading, directing, and more, while minimizing its costs.
