History
Along with the block of programming on PBS, PBS Kids was a separate television network, founded in 1995[1], and was targeted to children aged 2-7 years. The PBS Kids Channel ran for six years and was largely funded by DirecTV. The channel ceased broadcast on September 26, 2001, in favor of a new commercial joint venture, PBS Kids Sprout, which is a partnership owned by Comcast.[citation needed] About half of PBS TV stations still program a children's channel themselves over their multicasting service [2], such as KETC, WNET, WHRO, UNC-TV, Georgia Public Broadcasting, Wisconsin Public Television, WGBH, KQED, and CPTV. On PBS, two blocks of programming are currently included in PBS Kids, including PBS Kids Go! and the PBS Kids preschool block, and the former block, PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch, which was launched in 2000 and cancelled in 2009.
