Time Warner KPBS in Clear QAM
Up until about August 2009, San Diego Time Warner Cable carried KPBS HD in Clear QAM. Was that signal removed from the TWC line-up? Currently, only KPBS Standard Def can be found in Clear QAM at 549 MHz on TWC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.34.63 (talk) 05:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Flagship?
I invite those interested in KPBS' apparent status as a "flagship" station for the Public Broadcasting Service to join in the discussion at Talk:WNET on what constitutes a PBS flagship. -- SwissCelt 19:19, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Weird. I thought New York (home of WNET) was on the East Coast, not West. --Coryma 20:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, WNET is a New Jersey station - at least nominally. All of the in-state PBS station licenses in New York are UHF; WPBS-TV is on 16 and it goes up from there as high as Mountain Lake PBS, One Sesame Street on 57. Nonetheless, the "flagship" nonsense is based on the network owning its largest stations - KCBS-TV, WNBC and the like - which isn't the PBS way of doing things. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 21:10, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Interference from Clear Channel?
"...most likely due to interference from high power Clear Channel radio stations with antennas atop Mount Soledad."

I fail to understand why "Clear Channel" owned stations are singled out, nor do I understand what the relevance is? A majority of stations in San Diego broadcast from there. 94.9, 100.7, 102.9, 96.5 and 103.7 also broadcast from Mt. Soledad, and none of them are owned by Clear Channel.

KPBS over-air TV translators
If I'm right, KPBS has a low-power translator for the Imperial Valley on channels 16 and 47 able to reach Yuma, Arizona and KPBS radio is the area's only source for NPR on 89.5 based in Calexico, California. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:613F:2DF8:D15B:5AA2 (talk) 03:50, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

The Programming section needs a major rewrite, as not to be overly promotional. I put up cleanup templates to make users aware, but Mikus took them down twice, saying he sees nothing wrong. I don't want to get into 3RR territory. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 20:15, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see them as promotional. I added much of the existing text in there, I am not affiliated with KPBS (can be seen by me mentioning crappy bitrate after 2017 channel overhaul), and I hate advertising. Still, the information in that section reflects actual facts. Putting an ugly note on the top of the page simply because there are some - unknown to everyone but you, Mvcg66b3r - issues with this section will not do the article any good. If you do not like specific wording, BE BOLD and change them instead of "making users aware". Thanks. Mikus (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
