JULY 2014

Kids Matter!

Our monthly program guide lists all the great

evening shows our viewers have come to

enjoy and follow for years. What you don’t

see here is the exceptional line-up that runs

from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each weekday for our

youngest viewers.

Shows such as Thomas the Train, Martha

Speaks, Wild Kratts, and Sesame Street

engage children of all ages. They also carry

on the PBS tradition of filling television

screens in family homes with safe,

educational, non-violent shows. This is what

has made PBS America’s most-trusted brand.

Why not join your children or grandchildren to

watch an old favorite or a new offering this

summer? Together, you will laugh, learn and

find inspiration in these top show choices.

At PBS39, we also offer a specialmembership club just for kids. TeleBear’sCub Club is a great way to connect with otherfamilies, enjoy exclusive family-centeredevents throughout the year and receivediscounts and coupons to kid-friendly businesses and activities in the region.
