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 in Watsonville, KCAH on channel 25. The station 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.

[edit] KTEH to merge with KQED

On May 1, 2006, KQED and the KTEH Foundation agreed to merge to form Northern California Public Broadcasting.^[1]^[2]

Starting around 1980, KTEH started showing the British science-fantasy show Doctor Who, and continued to do so for over 17 years.
In 1998, KTEH managed to get the entire season of the British sci-fi comedy television show, Red Dwarf VIII. Many episodes were in fact shown on American television 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).
