KTSF - The Face of the Bay Area

The R.C.ShortCast — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 02:29:32 GMT

This edition of the The R.C.ShortCast is an interview with Lisa Yokota, Marketing director at KTSF. The KTSF story starts in 1965 when Lillian Lincoln Howell was awarded the FCC license to operate channel 26 in the San Francisco market. Her goal was to operate a station serving underserved markets. She believed that mainstream stations were not providing news and entertainment programming to non-English speakers and her intention was to have KTSF address this need. After 11 years of struggling with various obstacles, Lillian Howell was finally able to put KTSF on the air in 1976. Because there were already stations broadcasting Hispanic programming at that time, she decided to focus her efforts on the Asian market. Since then, KTSF has consistently increased its schedule of Asian programming consistent with demographic changes in the market. In 1982 the station added Filipino programming in response to increased immigration from the Philippines. By 1985 the Bay Area Vietnamese population had grown to a size where in-language programming could be added to the schedule. In the late 1990's, as the H1-B visa brought more workers to the US from Taiwan, China and India, KTSF expanded its hours of Mandarin and Hindi programming.
