KPBS television is a PBS member station based in San Diego, California, broadcasting on channel 15 analog, channel 30 digital. The station is owned by San Diego State University.
The TV station was founded in 1967 as KEBS-TV. The station changed its calls to the current KPBS in 1970. Appearing monthly on These Days, the Film Club of the Air features local film critics Beth Accomando and Scott Marks discussing films in San Diego theaters.
KPBS-TV is not part of the famed "big three" group of Los Angeles network flagship stations (KCBS-TV, KNBC and KABC-TV); its call letters merely express the nature of the station's programming and affiliation.
Like Watertown, New York's WPBS-TV, KPBS-TV is a border station -- in this case, serving viewers in both the US and Mexico.
