KVCR Public Media is the Inland Empire's PBS and NPR member station: KVCR TV 24, Southern California's oldest public television station, and NPR 91.9 KVCR, licensed to the San Bernardino Community College District.
KVCR Public Media is a service of the San Bernardino Community College District, broadcasting from the Media and Communications Building on the campus of San Bernardino Valley College. KVCR TV (channel 24) began broadcasting in September 1962 and is Southern California's oldest operating public television station; KVCR 91.9 FM, on the air since 1953, carries NPR, PRX and American Public Media news and talk programming as NPR 91.9. Its mission is to be the trusted source for news, information, education, culture and community engagement in the Inland Empire.
The television service covers Riverside and San Bernardino counties from Box Springs Mountain and provides a dedicated subchannel, KVCR PBS Desert Cities, to the Coachella Valley. The district also operates First Nations Experience (FNX), a national television network of Native American and Indigenous programming created at KVCR in 2011. Local productions such as the public affairs program Inland Edition and the documentary The Warehouse Empire have won regional Emmy Awards, and the station hosts community events such as Operation Gobble and Operation Elf with the district.
With a staff of about 40 across radio, television and FNX, KVCR hires through San Bernardino Community College District Human Resources. Openings for the station appear on the district's SchoolJobs (NEOGOV) portal under the KVCR department, including broadcast operations, production, programming, digital, marketing and development roles, plus student work-study positions.
