Fred Rogers Productions is an American television production company specializing in children's programming for public television in the United States. The company was started by Fred Rogers and was renamed in his honor to The Fred Rogers Company after his death. Under a previous name, Family Communications, Inc., the company produced its signature program, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
In the early 2010s, The Fred Rogers Company began producing new programming, including:
- Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, an animated conceptual sequel to Neighborhood starring the young families of characters introduced in the former show's Neighborhood of Make-Believe segments.
- Peg + Cat, an animated show which introduces concepts of math and problem-solving to young viewers.
- Odd Squad, a live-action show which is also focused on math and problem-solving but targets a somewhat older audience than Peg + Cat.
