PBS-KIDS-2022

PBS Kids is the brand for children's programming on PBS in the United States. First introduced in 1993 as "PTV", the current brand name "PBS Kids" officially began in 1999. As with all PBS programming, it is non-commercial.

Arthur made its debut in the U.S. during its daytime children's block on PBS on October 7, 1996 and ran daily until February 21, 2022. PBS Kids continues to air reruns of Arthur on its 24/7 kids channel and streaming service, in addition to local PBS stations. Arthur is one of PBS Kids' longest-running children's series, with its original run lasting 25 years. It is surpassed in longevity by Sesame Street (which continues to air on PBS since 1969 but is now first-run on Max) and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood (which ran for 33 years and still is airing reruns on PBS).

Online[]

The PBS Kids website is the primary online destination for games, activities, videos, and resources for teachers and parents related to most programming aired by PBS Kids. The website has been accessible through the URL pbskids.org since late 1999, though a separate kids section of the main pbs.org domain existed throughout much of the 1990s. Most PBS Kids shows, including Arthur and formerly Postcards from Buster, have their own dedicated companion website.

The PBS Kids Video app is a free video streaming platform in the United States. As of 2024, there is a selection of Arthur episodes that rotate on a monthly basis. The Arthur Podcast and new Arthur shorts are also on-demand.
