FEBRUARY 2016 February Fun at PBS39 From quality PBS KIDS programming, to new and established favorites, we have enjoyment for all ages this month on PBS39. For our young friends, the hour-long premiere of the new PBS KIDS series, Ready Jet Go, airs Monday, February 15th at 4:00pm. This series follows a new kid in the neighborhood, Jet Propulsion, from a family of aliens from the planet Bortron 7. This new show joins other recent additions to our children’s lineup, like Nature Cat, weekdays at 7:00am and our STEAM Learning block, weekdays from 2:00 to 4:00pm, to deliver educational children’s programming throughout the day. We also have plenty to offer our grown-up audience. Season 6 of Downton Abbey continues on Wednesdays at 9:00pm throughout the month, while FOCUS settles into its new night and time, Tuesdays at 7:30pm. Meanwhile, newer favorites continue to gain momentum, like Luther, starring Idris Elba, Mondays, 10:00pm and Mercy Street, Wednesdays, 10:00pm. Of course, we plan to stay active in the community this month, as we partner with the Manufacturers Resource Center and Dream It. Do It. Pennsylvania for the What’s So Cool About Manufacturing? video contest. Once again, students from all over the Greater Lehigh Valley have visited area companies to capture what makes modern manufacturing a great industry in which to work. Visit dreamitdoitpa.com from February 17th – 19th to vote for your favorite video. Awards will be given at a ceremony at ArtsQuest on February 23rd. We’re ecstatic to provide you with some of the best programming PBS39 has to offer this month. Enjoy!
