PBS Kids is an American educational channel consisting of children's programming that aired on PBS in the United States. Some public television children's programs are not produced by PBS member stations or transmitted by PBS. Instead, they are produced by independent public television distributors such as American Public Television, and are therefore not labeled as "PBS Kids" programming, as it is mainly a programming block branding. The target audience is children between the ages of 2 and 8. The network is also available in sub-Saharan Africa and Australia. PBS Kids brand programming is aired daily on most local PBS stations during a daytime block, typically scheduled in the morning hours, in addition to a separate 24/7 channel (sometimes called PBS Kids Channel or PBS Kids 24/7). Both the block and 24/7 service are broadcast over the air, via cable and satellite providers and on streaming platforms. Select programming is also available internationally. It was originally debuted on January 16, 2017. The channel is aimed at children ages 2-12. In September 6, 1999, the two idents at the end which were Dot and Dash introduced on the same day when the channel premiered. The link to its website is here: http://pbskids.org. PBS Kids also broadcasted all shows. [Vote for your favorite PBS Kids show here.]
