This summer Arizona Public Media is providing free PBS KIDS resources on-air, on digital platforms and in our community to help bridge the summer learning gap. PBS Kids and PBS 6 weekday morning, feature a new summer schedule, as well as a variety of digital resources and community activities to keep families learning and exploring.

On-air Programming
Double Your Fun, Double Your Learning: In line with the national PBS KIDS schedule changes, we have made significant schedule changes on PBS 6 weekday mornings, 5 a.m. – Noon, and the PBS KIDS channel to maximize the opportunity for kids to tune into the series they love and want to see more often. Several series will feature back-to-back episodes each weekday, including, double Curious George, double Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, double Arthur, and more.
