This summer, WQED celebrates Rick Sebak’s 50 years in public television! Rick hopped over to the WQED-FM studio to chat with Anna Singer live on the QED Afternoon Show about his illustrious career.
Rick started out in public broadcasting as a summer intern at South Carolina Educational Television in 1973. He worked on a children’s program there hosted by Josie Carey, called “WHEEE.” Rick also shares some of his memorable WQED programs and extends thanks to all of the crew members he’s worked with over the years.
Every Thursday night this summer at 9:00pm, WQED will broadcast two hours of Rick Sebak specials! The first program, on June 11th, includes Rick’s Kennywood Memories, That Kennywood Year, and Don’t Stand Up. Summer of Sebak programs will re-air on Saturdays at 1:00pm, and you can stream all of Rick’s material on WQED+.
