KQED (TV) - Publishing

Publishing

In 1955, KQED began publishing a programming guide called KQED in Focus. The program guide began to add more articles and took on the character of a regular magazine. The name was later changed to Focus Magazine and then to San Francisco Focus. In 1984, a new programming guide, Fine Tuning was separated off from Focus, with Focus carrying on as a self-contained magazine. In the early 1990s, San Francisco Focus was the recipient of number of journalism and publishing awards, including a National Headliner Award for feature writing in 1993. In 1997, KQED sold San Francisco Focus to Diablo Publications in order to pay off debts. In 2005, San Francisco Focus was resold to Modern Luxury Media, who rebranded the magazine as San Francisco.

The program guide was published on kqed.com as the Guide. It has been renamed On Q.
