KLCS Channel 58 is a member station of the Public Broadcasting Service, and is owned by the Los Angeles Unified School District. KLCS is known on the air as The Education Station for all Generations and is based in downtown Los Angeles.

The station began operations on November 3, 1973, and is one of eight television stations licensed to a local school system. KLCS produces more than 700 hours of educational, informational, sports, and entertainment programming a year, including live telecourse instruction from the California State University system.

Since 1983, KLCS has produced "Homework Helpline" a weekday after-school call-in program where students receive homework help from teachers and other faculty from the LAUSD who appear on the show. The emmy-award winning show has received much acclaim and was featured in Time Magazine [1]

KLCS is one of five television stations directly licensed to Los Angeles that continues to utilize their original call signs. The others are KTLA, KTTV, KCET, and KMEX.

Unlike most public television stations, KLCS does not hold a pledge drive.
