PBS Kids (often styled all-caps as PBS KIDS) is the brand for children's programming aired by the Public Broadcasting Service in the United States founded in 1993. As with all PBS programming, PBS Kids programming is non-commercial.
PBS Kids was a separate television network founded in 1998, and was targeted to children aged 2-7 years. The PBS Kids Channel ran for seven years and was largely funded by DirecTV, which decided not to renew its licensing deal. The channel ceased operation on October 1, 2005, in favor of a new commercial joint venture, PBS Sprout, which is a partnership owned in part by Comcast (40%).[citation needed] Some TV stations (such as WNET, WHRO, UNC-TV, Georgia Public Broadcasting and Wisconsin Public Television) still program a PBS Kids channel themselves.
Most television programs aired on PBS Kids are usually produced from Canada and the United Kingdom.
