| Did You Know KQED Is In the Midst of a Transformation? | | |
| | Campaign 21 is a journey that began more than a decade ago as we expanded from radio and television broadcasts to digital platforms. We envisioned a new era of serving you where, when and how you needed KQED. To reach these goals, we launched Campaign 21, a multiyear effort to fund digital production and distribution, grow our reporting teams and renovate our headquarters. The culminating event of our Campaign, a total redesign and rebuild of 2601 Mariposa Street, is well underway and will be finished in summer 2021.
Learn more about the Campaign and take a virtual tour through our new building. | | |
