Hello Pete,
I believe it referred to a TV show he had in San Francisco(My guess).  Anyway
the book says "Produced by KQED" on it and on the inside cover is says
"Copyright 1968 Bay Area Educational Television Assn."  I do know he wrote a
chess column for the San Francisco Bay paper (Chronical I think)
