PBS Retro is a new FAST channel playing just the classics

PBS just launched a new FAST channel called PBS Retro. It’s available on Roku and shows stuff like Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Parents throughout the country just breathed a sigh of relief at the prospect of allowing more screen time for their kids that doesn’t revolve around some really loud and annoying YouTube dude. The 24/7 channel airs all of the shows you’re likely picturing right now, including Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. The organization says it's in the “early days of experimentation” with a goal of making PBS content “available in new places.” It will “continue to consider additional opportunities” if these FAST channels increase revenue and brand awareness.
