Interesting that KQED didn't use the 10am hour for instructional programming as the primary PBS affiliate in the Bay Area but then again KCSM would have been the "Telecourse and Instructional" programming station at that time.

Also around this time KQED owned KQEC-TV San Francisco and they had issues keeping their secondary station on the air at that time.

Also around this time KQED owned KQEC-TV San Francisco and they had issues keeping their secondary station on the air at that time.

Here is a possible reason why KQED for some reason went off the air at 10am and it's partially related to their management of KQEC-TV at the time.
