A NEW PBS CHANNEL FROM TPT! Big news: More Wild Kratts, Daniel Tiger, Nature Cat, Ready Jet Go! and Splash and Bubbles are coming your way! Yes, this month, TPT (Twin Cities PBS) is launching a new 24/7 broadcast channel devoted entirely to PBS Kids content. Existing on-demand clips and full episodes will continue to be available for free on the PBS KIDS Video App and streaming via pbskids.org, as will TPT’s existing PBS Kids airing schedule on TPT 2 and TPT Life. Viewers will be able to watch the TPTbranded live stream through pbskids.org and on the PBS KIDS Video App, which is available on a variety of mobile devices, tablets and platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Xbox One and Chromecast. Following its initial launch, the localized live stream will expand to offer an integrated games feature, enabling children to toggle between a PBS Kids show and an activity. Games were added partly because when children engage with PBS KIDS content on multiple platforms, they make measurable gains in learning, according to PBS research. Broadcast channel numbers in the Twin Cities will vary by service (cable, antenna, satellite), but will be near other TPT channels or kids’ channels. Learn more at pbskids.org.
