Re: Amazon Prime Strikes Deal for Most PBS Children’s Shows
#2I really hope that either a) the PBS Kids app on the Apple TV still has a couple shows or b) Amazon and Apple work out their differences and get Amazon Video on the Apple TV, because my 16 month old gets to watch TV the only time a day for 15 minutes of Daniel Tiger everyday before his nap. He's such a creature of habit that I'd probably have to go get a Fire TV Stick or make significant changes to my home network so AirPlay worked with that TV, otherwise my wife have a month of struggle to get him adjusted to a new routine.

The article states: "All of the titles moving to Amazon will still be broadcast on local PBS stations, on PBS’s website and the PBS Kids Video app."

#4Damn. That explains why Dinosaur Train and Daniel Tiger are no longer on Netflix today. That's frustrating.

Whew. The article must have been updated after I read it, because that statement isn't in my cached copy of the article.

#6My feeling is that since PBS is largely funded by taxes and donations, all their content should be available freely just about anywhere. They really ought to publish directly to YouTube as well.

#7They've had a ton of PBS content for a long time. I actually just lost 5 seasons of Wild Kratts today.

IMO, there is a large gap between taxes and donations. Taxpayers would be better served by open access, but donors may feel funding for PBS is a better option.
As taxpayers are only 15 percent and this may reduce PBS's funding needs it's probably a good approach to licence the content widely for a reasonable cost.

It is freely available on PBS.com It makes sense to ask Amazon to pay something if they want to offer the content outside that venue.

Not sure if this helps with your platform, but those are both available on the PBS Kids Video app.
