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. 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 3-6 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 joint commercial venture, PBS Kids Sprout, which is a partnership owned in part by Comcast (40%). Some stations (such as WNET, KTCI, and WHA) still program a PBS Kids channel themselves.
