PBS KIDS Video App
The PBS KIDS Video App is now available on iPhone and iPod touch, bringing more free educational video content to families than any other children’s media app, and offering scheduling information for Vegas PBS children’s programming. The app gives families free, streaming access to more than 2,000 videos – including clips and full episodes – from Vegas PBS children’s series, allowing fans to watch their favorite shows and discover new ones while they are on the go. The PBS KIDS Video App launched on iPad in May with great success; it has served more than 430 million video streams and has had over 450,000 downloads to date.
“At Vegas PBS, offering kids and families access to the best educational media content is a major priority for us,” said Tom Axtell, general manager of Vegas PBS. “With the PBS KIDS Video App, our viewers can easily check out our children’s programs and find out when to catch them on Vegas PBS Channel 10 as well as try out series they haven’t seen before – all while they are on the move. We know that families are incredibly busy – especially during this time of year – so we are proud to offer this service to them at no cost, giving them the opportunity to engage with our trusted content wherever they are.”
The PBS KIDS Video App also features helpful tools for parents such as:
- Access to Vegas PBS TV schedules
- Additional information about TV series, including age and learning goals
- The ability to download related educational apps and TV episodes directly from the App Store and iTunes
- Marking series as “favorites”
- Sharing videos via email, Facebook and Twitter
