PBS Kids Update On DStv

PBS Kids
318
Providing the highest-quality programming and learning environment for children, PBS invites kids on a journey to explore the world around them with non-violent, age-appropriate content that offers positive role models to learn from.

Programs by PBS Kids that are available on the DStv Now App (as seen on the TV Guide and programs are subjected to change):
Mister Roger's Neighbourhood
Peep And The Big Wide World (Formerly seen on eToonz)
Arthur (Formerly seen on SABC 1 & 2)
Fetch with Ruff Ruffman
Postcards from Buster
Time Warp Trio
Pinkalicious & Peterrific
WordWorld

Available on the DStv Now app via DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Family, Access & Easyview. DStv added its content back in June and is plotting to make a dedicated channel for it if only there's a demand for it but seeing now that they've listed the channel on their website with a tv guide and everything the channel looks like its coming soon. So if PBS Kids does happen to get a dedicated channel it will take the channel 318 slot and be available from the Easyview package and upwards as seen on the App since most of its content is educational and not harmful to children with a mixture of animation and live-action plus it shares similarities to Boomerang, Nick Jr, Cbeebies, Disney Junior, JimJam & Mindset.
