KVCR-TV Channel 24 is a member of the Public Broadcasting Service, and is owned by the San Bernardino Community College District. The District also operates sister station KVCR-FM. KVCR-TV programs also reach Palm Springs viewers on translator channel 9, K09XW. KVCR-TV began broadcasting on September 11, 1962, making it the first successful UHF television channel for the Los Angeles TV market.
KVCR-TV is also the first non-commercial, public television station in Southern California and the third in the State of California. Channel 24 was preceded only by KQED, San Francisco and KVIE, Sacramento. KVCR predated KCET, Channel 28 by more than two years, KPBS, San Diego, by five years, and KOCE, Channel 50, by a decade.
In the summers of 2005 and 2006, separate transmitter failures knocked both the TV and radio stations off the air for extended periods.
