All 886 episodes of the classic children's program will air on Twitch beginning May 15, encouraging viewers to support their local PBS stations
Social video platform Twitch today announced it will host a free 18-day, 886-episode marathon of the beloved PBS KIDS series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, from The Fred Rogers Company. This shared viewing experience on www.twitch.tv/misterrogers starts on May 15th at 12:00pm PT and ends on June 3rd. The marathon features the most comprehensive collection of episodes available, including many that have only aired once and are unavailable elsewhere online. Twitch will also run a fundraising campaign, during which viewers will be encouraged to show support for their local PBS station.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood debuted in 1968 and aired on PBS for decades. Grounded in an innovative social-emotional curriculum, the show starred the legendary Fred Rogers, who spoke directly to viewers, performed songs, created arts and crafts for viewers, and took them on tours of real-life locations. Each episode ended with the same positive message for viewers: because we are all unique, we make each day special by being ourselves, and people can like us just the way we are.
Every episode, dating from the show's premiere, will stream consecutively throughout the month of the marathon. There will be additional mini-marathons in the following weeks, giving viewers the opportunity to enjoy their favorite episodes once again.
From listening to feedback, it became clear that the Twitch community has not only embraced content which goes beyond gaming, they want more of it, said Bill Moorier, Head of Creative at Twitch. We were drawn to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood because Fred Rogers was a positive voice in fostering inclusivity and diversity, and, like our streamers, he talked to the viewers as if they were in the room with him. While his show was geared toward children, his messages have universal appeal.
Fred Rogers created a blueprint for children's television that still works today, and his messages of acceptance and inclusion remain just as timeless and relevant as they did when Mister Rogers' Neighborhood first aired, said Paul Siefken, President and CEO of The Fred Rogers Company. We are delighted to be working with Twitch to make the show available to fans, as well as reach a whole new whole new audience that did not grow up watching the program.
Fred Rogers believed in the boundless potential of all children, and his landmark educational philosophy continues to guide our work today at PBS KIDS, said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Children's Media and Education, PBS. We are excited to bring Mister Rogers' Neighborhood to the Twitch community in this special event, honoring Fred's legacy, and encouraging fans to support the important work that local PBS stations do to help all children learn and succeed.
All proceeds from the campaign within the United States will support local PBS stations. Twitch will be featuring a donation panel on the channel at www.twitch.tv/misterrogers. To further encourage support of PBS, Twitch Partners will be sharing personal stories about the importance of PBS and the impact of its programming. These spots will run throughout the marathon.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood joins a growing list of public television programming that has aired on Twitch to positive viewer reception. Much like Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting and Julia Child's The French Chef, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood represents the art of educating, making it a perfect fit for Twitch's growing catalog of non-gaming content.
