WCNY will provide three additional hours of children’s programming late weekday afternoons and evenings on WCNY channel 24.2 beginning Nov. 1. The lineup ranges from programming for pre-school aged viewers to children in primary grades.
At the same time, WCNY will extend popular how-to programming from its Create channel to primetime. Starting Nov. 1, channel 24.2 will broadcast cooking, crafts and other how-to shows from 8 to 11 p.m.
The additional children’s programming will allow parents and children to watch the latest episodes together at a convenient time.
Program schedule:
5 p.m. “Sesame Street”
6 p.m. “Curious George”
6:30 p.m. “Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That”
7 p.m. “Arthur”
7:30 p.m. “The Electric Company”
Children and parents can extend learning by utilizing PBS’s Ready-to-Learn initiatives, including educational games, video content and activities for parents and children. All of these activities are available for free online in addition to a growing number of mobile apps. Extensive research shows children who use these resources are learning and retaining what they learn.
Each PBS KIDS show has a companion website that can be found at www.pbskids.org. To learn more about WCNY’s children’s programming, visit www.wcny.org.
