MARCH 2025 UPDATE: Welcome back to lunch-hour TV! KAMU is extending PBS KIDS programming on our main channel, giving families an extra hour of kid-friendly, educational shows. Instead of kids programming ending at noon, it will end at 1 p.m., effective March 31.
We’re making room for two new episodes of popular shows with this adjustment. Across all of our children’s programming, we remain dedicated to offering fun, educational content covering a broad age appeal and curriculum topics. Have you checked out our 24/7 PBS KIDS Channel? Watch through an antenna on channel 12.3 or Optimum 18. Or, a 24/7 livestream is available on PBSKIDS.org or the free PBS KIDS Video app on iOS, Android, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, VIZIO SmartCast TV and Chromecast.
Plus, there are additional high-quality PBS KIDS programs available only for streaming through the app. Check out our list of additional resources at the end of this article for more details.
