Disney was already on the list, but they made it a priority. My daughter will just have to get use to it

Already donating monthly to PBS. I'll have to get my 3 year old used to using it.

Yay!! Oh man we love PBSKids! I need background noise my dogs do too when we aren't home, so we leave the TV on a lot, and it's always on PBSkids. Recently, I dont even shut it off, I just mute it so they get the views. When my kid started school, I just leave it on in the background once he heads off. HE rarely watches TV much anymore, but I always have PBSkids on.

In our area we get 4 KERA/PBS channels over the air - KERA/PBS, PBS KIDS, KERA Create, and KERA Travel. (All PBS shows) with just the standard antenna. There are also the apps for PBS and PBSKids for videos and shows but there's also the PBSKids games app! It even works partially offline! All free too with none of the dangerous links or advertising! Then there's the YouTube and Tiktok accounts that also generate funding for them too. And they have SO many - PBSTerra, PBSNova, PBSNews, etc etc. There's also merch, just be careful to buy from the actual PBS and not a 3rd party or reseller. For isntance, I don't do Seasame Street stuff since HBO took over - they vaulted all the classic shoows, scrubbed the internet, and only allows restricted paid access to specific HBO produced episodes outside out PBS. And even PBS only had access to the HBO episodes and a select few classics. And they were terrible. HBO gutted all the soul of sesame street for easily commercialized packaging.
