PBS Kids is a children's block of [[Edutainment Show|Edutainment Shows]] on [[PBS]] that launched in 1993 (as a program block) or 2017 (in its later incarnation as a digital subchannel). It has aired on many PBS
They also aired another block called ''PBS Kids GO!'', which was aimed at older children. It was launched in 2004.

PBS Kids Sprout did incur controversy for the parent network [[PBS]] for one incident; they sacked "[[wikipedia:Melanie Martinez (actress)|Melanie]]", host of the ''Good Night Show'' (PBS KIDS Sprout, 2005-06), because of her prior appearance in a [[Parody Commercial]] series mocking abstinence-only sex education. According to PBS ombudsman Michael Getler, "it would have been a greater bow to freedom of expression and against guilt by association for the program and PBS to stick by her ... it struck me as ironic that at the very time PBS is fighting against new [[Media Watchdog|Federal Communications Commission]] rulings about indecency that the network argues will inhibit documentary filmmakers and freedom of speech, it delivers a subjective punishment to a popular performer for something done seven years ago that was clearly a spoof."
There's also an over-the-air [[Digital Subchannel]] which runs preschool content 24/7 as "PBS Kids" on many PBS member stations. It tends to ignore the "[[watershed]]" presumption (that little kids won't be watching far into the night) and keeps running content like ''[[Sesame Street]]'' after 10PM ET.
