About San Diego’s television life began as a volunteer effort in 1980 when Ken organized a group of community history enthusiasts using borrowed equipment to cobble together some half hour KPBS broadcasts featuring odd and little-known facts about our county. After a dozen years as a news reporter and About San Diego storyteller at NBC7, the program came back to KPBS for good in 2010 and has since become one of the station’s most popular offerings. After his retirement from regular production of the KPBS Television series Ken Kramer’s About San Diego a few years ago, Ken was urged by station management to put together some occasional new episodes. So, fast forward to now! beginning in April and continuing each month through the summer, Ken and his producer Suzanne Bartole will offer previously unseen stories about the people and history of the area we call home. KPBS Passport members will get a sneak preview of each new episode on the First of the Month, with a television broadcast debut to follow on the second Thursday of each month in the show’s usual 8:00 PM time slot.
