PBS Kids GO! is a educational television brand used by PBS for programs intended for early elementary school children, an older demographic than the separate PBS Kids banner. It is primarily broadcast on PBS stations during the afternoons. It debuted on October 11, 2005.
Planned Services
PBS announced that, in October 2006, a 24-hour (24/7) digital PBS Kids Go! channel will be launched with additional content, including an evening "Go! Family" block targeted at both children and their families and a Spanish language programming block. The channel will initially be made available to PBS stations that have digital multicast capability. PBS stations are planning to make agreements with local stations and cable operators for channel placement. Plans are also to have similar arrangements work out with satellite providers. PBS and Verizon have worked out an agreement to distribute PBS Kids Go! Channel (along with other digital PBS channels) over its FiOS TV services.
As of June 6, 2006, PBS announced that the PBS Kids Go! Channel will not launch in October 2006 due to financial issues, as reported by the Broadcasting & Cable News website. Instead, the channel will be delayed for several months. However, PBS is exploring other delivery options for its school-age programs including video on demand (VOD), DSL/Cable distribution and other digital media. Plans for these delivery methods will be announced in the coming months.
