The station-branded live stream will be accessible via pbskids.org and on the PBS Kids Video app.<\/p>\n<p>The PBS Kids 24\/7 channel will be offered in addition to local stations\u2019 current primary PBS channel, which will continue to feature a PBS Kids daypart. The new channel will air popular shows such as <em>Daniel Tiger\u2019s Neighborhood<\/em>, <em>Odd Squad<\/em>, <em>Wild Kratts<\/em> and <em>Dinosaur Train<\/em>. New shows coming to the channel include <em>Nature Cat<\/em> and <em>Ready Jet Go!<\/em>, which premiered this month. It will also feature the tentatively titled <em>Splash<\/em> from The Jim Henson Company, which has been slated for a fall premiere.<\/p>\n<p>The live stream complements on-demand clips and full episodes of PBS Kids shows, which will continue to be available for free on the PBS Kids Video app and streaming via pbskids.org. The app is available on mobile devices, tablets and OTT platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Xbox One and Chromecast. Following its initial launch, the live stream experience will expand to offer an integrated games feature, enabling children to toggle between a PBS Kids show and an activity that extends learning. The games will complement the learning goals of each TV program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents know that PBS Kids makes a difference in their children\u2019s lives, which is why so many have said they would value having access to our content throughout the day,\u201d said PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger. \u201cTelevision continues to be the most widely used platform for children\u2019s educational content, especially among low-income families. The new PBS Kids 24\/7 channel and live stream offered by local member stations ensure that educational media is available to all families all the time and via a platform that works for them. Given that 54 percent of all children nationwide do not have the opportunity to attend preschool, providing access is a critical element of our public service mission.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARLINGTON: U.S. public broadcaster PBS is launching new free 24\/7 multiplatform children\u2019s services later this year, including a TV channel and live stream on digital platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":9581,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[128,122,486,681,146,682,173,429,130],"class_list":["post-9580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-daniel-tigers-neighborhood","tag-dinosaur-train","tag-odd-squad","tag-pbs","tag-pbs-kids","tag-pbs-kids-video-app","tag-splash","tag-the-jim-henson-company","tag-wild-kratts","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
