PBS Kids Channel News and Discussion

[parkersfan89]

My station's kids channel aired it several months ago

Maya & Miguel was also aired on Univision's Planeta U block from 2011-2013! I remember watching it in spanish when they aired it.

All this Zaslav drama going on right now is making me wish that PBS Kids was talked about by more people, along with being in more countries like how they expanded to Africa and Australia recently, complete with it being free like the US PBS Kids.

The schedule has Arthur airing 24/7 and I can't handle that much of any show honestly

Mister Rogers gone from the schedule so soon?
That's sad, because it's one of the greatest PBS Kids shows ever made (second being classic Sesame Street), that even today's viewers should watch!
Maybe the show would've stayed on longer if they put it on weekdays and/or just later in the day?

Is it another case of "this show is old, and I don't think many are watching, so let's remove it"?
I do not understand why they decided to remove it so soon.

I know streaming is still an option, but unfortunately, the frame rate is cut in half there (and is also why many of the PBS Kids shows appear jittery on streaming and on recent DVDs. Wondering why PBS hasn't fixed that, considering they promote that their shows are streaming).
That said, watching it on TV is the true experience for me (and hopefully my main PBS station continues to air it when the schedule change occurs).

the pbs kids channel should also consider airing more older stuff (sans Mr. Rogers & Sesame Street) like Between the Lions, Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat, Anne of Green Gables (the cartoon), Liberty's Kids, Maya & Miguel, Reading Rainbow, Teletubbies, Postcards From Buster, The Noddy Shop, Boohbah, & so on.

Yeah, we get it. I think we already know the chances of that happening though.

Have you ever contacted your PBS station about re-airing some of those shows?
If so, I'm curious as to how that went.
