I have been hearing talk, on the net and otherwise, that KBHK was to
start broadcasting in stereo at the first of the year. Does anyone
know if and when that is to happen?

I am a Star Trek fan and would love to hear it in stereo.

KQED says that Focus is a money-making venture. That's why they've
kept it in the face of opposition from members who don't feel it
has anything to do with public broadcasting.

But...you don't have to get it! Just call KQED and tell them to send
you Fine Tuning instead. That's the program-listing insert you see
in Focus. It may take them a couple of months to change your mailing,
but you won't be the only person who's requested it...

If you're wrong, you have lots of company. Does anyone have any

Good for her. She deserves a wider audience (and undoubtedly much
more money) than she's getting at KQED.

I listened to the final minutes of KEEN on New Year's Eve.  One
of the DJs said her final goodbyes, then, at exactly midnight,
the familar voice said "KEEN: too damn country for FM," and then
the station went silent.  

This was the best country station in the area, and I am sad to

A simple call to the operator at KBHK would tell the answer.

They recently moved from the location at 420 Taylor Street to somewhere else.
(It was a dump. I used to work there doing air ops. What a pit.)
The gal on the phone said they had intended to begin in Jan, but it may be 
Feburary or march before they do. She said they need to install a new
transmitter. (Actually she probably meant just the modulator.) I assume the
new faciltity is already wired and equipped for stereo. Funny how the 
transmitter always gets last priority.

Any insights from other aware people would be welcomed.

Both of KQED's (FM and TV) major public affairs program hosts
have left (or are about to). 

Kevin Pursglove, host of KQED-FM's "Forum" program, has already
left to take a job in the press office of San Jose mayor Susan
Hammer.

And a friend of mine who has appeared on "Northern California Week 
in Review" on numerous occasions tells me that Ginger Casey is also
leaving, he thinks for a TV station on the east coast.

At least one of them had a major salary slash before deciding
to leave.

It's been years since I checked, but last I recall, SF Focus had been
in the red for a long time.  And even if it is making KQED money,
should a non-profit, tax-subsidized organization like KQED be in a
purely commercial venture?

Gosh, when I wrote an angry letter to the chairlady of KQED about the
KQED/KTEH hassle, I mentioned my dislike for this magazine, yet she
never mentioned Fine Tuning in her reply.  I don't suppose the 5-page
letter she sent me could be computer-generated boilerplate.....

I agree. KEEN was the most unique country station around and I'm sorry

I find KCSM and KTEH, together, fulfill my needs for public television.
KQED is putting on a mix of shows that appeals to Anglophiles, gour-
mands and searchers for the Inner Child. I think that they've lost
touch with the Bay Area audience because they are trying to impose
demographic standards to a public trust. If they'd start appealling to
the whole Bay Area again instead of excluding those of us who are
"wealth-impaired", I think funding drives wouldn't be so much of a
struggle.

In KQED's defense, however, I am proud to see our logo on some fine
programs as co-underwriters. We are important to the efforts of PBS
as a whole. I think that a new regime could restore some balance to
KQED television AND radio. Are contribution to PBS is important but
local television production needs KQED, too.

Yeah, go ahead and try!  It took me many letters to KQED to get them
to change me from "Focus" to "Fine Tuning."  What finally caught their
attention was the finely chopped "Focus" cover that I enclosed inside of
my last letter.  The confetti surprise on someone's desk finally got my
subscription changed.

A couple other good restaurants in the area are

Spuntino's -- Italian and California-Italian.  The pizzas and foccaccias
              are especially good, but I've never been disappointed.  The
              prices are quite reasonable ($7-$10 for an entree).  This
              has become one of my standards for pre-symphony dining.

Max's Opera Cafe -- They serve a little of everything, but their deli-style
                    dishes are some of their best.  Huge portions, friendly
                    service.  They got a pretty good review in this week's
                    SF Bay Guardian.

Both restauarants are up Van Ness a couple blocks from Grove.


Other places that are worth considering are Stars, Stars Cafe, Salud, and
Ivy's.  I've not eaten at any of these, but they look nice...
