The KET PBS KIDS channel is a new, educational 24/7 children’s service that includes free, full-time programming available on air, on mobile, and online.

The channel is available statewide through KET’s 16 transmitter over-the-air broadcast network, on cable systems, and via livestream at KET.org/kids, and on the PBS KIDS Video App – for Apple and Android devices – 24 hours a day.

Helping Kentucky children prepare for school
In Kentucky, where screenings indicate that only half of the state’s children enter kindergarten prepared for school, KET PBS KIDS programming offers an accessible source for high-quality, educational programming that helps children become Kindergarten-ready.

Free access to high-quality early education resources
For the many Kentucky children who are not in any formal preschool environment, KET is the only high-quality early childhood education resource accessible to every home in Kentucky. The new service provides learning opportunities during the times of day when children watch TV the most: primetime.

The KET PBS KIDS channel includes popular programs such as Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Odd Squad, Wild Kratts, Dinosaur Train, Splash and Bubbles, Nature Cat, Ready Jet Go! and more.

Building critical skills for success
Research confirms that PBS KIDS content helps children build critical skills that enable them to find success in school and in life, while also helping parents increase their own engagement. Additionally, new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics notes that “well-designed television programs, such as Sesame Street, can improve cognitive, literacy and social outcomes for children 3 to 5 years of age.”
