These new episodes will help kids build important life skills, such as problem-solving and perseverance, and set a positive example for our viewers - especially girls - with the series' signature combination of girl-power' and brain-power' and special appearances of real-life role models Misty Copeland and Sandra Oh.
The new PEG CAT programming will debut on PBS stations nationwide and be available on pbskids.org and the free PBS KIDS Video App, which is accessible on a variety of mobile devices and platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Xbox One and Chromecast. Games and activities from the series are also available for kids on pbskids.org; pre-school and kindergarten teachers can access classroom resources in PBS LearningMedia's Peg Cat Collection.
We are so excited about introducing these special episodes of PEG CAT to young viewers and their families nationwide, said Paul Siefken, Vice President, Broadcast and Digital Media, The Fred Rogers Company.
