PBS Is a Safe Haven for Families When making the decision to cancel their cable TV subscription, member Tiffany Debnam was comforted that PBS NC and our Rootle 24/7 PBS KIDS Channel would still be available for her family. They rely on them for familycentered entertainment and diverse educational content.

“PBS is our family’s first choice,” says Tiffany. “I feel comfortable not having to monitor the screen when my kids want TV time. What’s most important to us are the insightful shows and specials. No other broadcast—live or streaming— provides that for us. I am always impressed by the broad range of topics the channel covers, even the hard topics.

PBS North Carolina genuinely highlights diversity!”
