The app is, well, App-solutely Fantastic!
“With the introduction of our iPhone app, KQED audiences will be able to take us wherever they are, and access KQED's content whenever they want,” stated Tim Olson, vice president of KQED Interactive. “The iPhone app allows us to build even closer relationships with our audiences and, because of our location in the middle of the world’s tech capital, the app allows KQED public media to expand our partnerships with some of the region's most forward-thinking companies.”
The KQED iPhone app was developed in partnership with Public Radio Exchange (PRX), a public media innovator based inCambridge,MA. Development funding for the public media app was supplied by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Further funding for the development of the KQED app was provided by the members of KQED.
The app is available as a free download in the iTunes App Store. For more information, visit kqed.org/iphone.
