Download Press Release
Los Angeles - December 28, 2010 - KCET, independent public media for Southern and Central California, announced today a new digital multicast channel strategy designed to super serve its diverse Southern California audience.
Effective January 1, 2011, KCET will launch KCET Kids & Family Channel, dedicated to entertaining and educating kids, their families and caregivers, and MHz Worldview, offering international programming targeting Southern Californias diverse audience, to its digital channel offerings. KCET will continue to broadcast Vme, the Spanish-language channel, on 28.3, Time Warner Cable ch. 336, Cox ch. 104 and Charter ch. 312. Vme will continue to provide programs of special interest to Hispanic and Latino communities throughout Southern and Central California. All three of KCETs digital multicast channels will offer 24/7 programming.
The digital channels represent format changes for KCET Orange, which transitions to KCET Kids & Family Channel, and PBS World, which transitions to MHz Worldview, the national channel of MHz Networks. In addition, KCET Desert Cities, only available in the Coachella Valley on Time Warner Cable ch. 218, will mirror KCET Kids & Family, with most of its current programming moving to KCETs daytime lifestyle block.
With these three channels we are targeting audiences whose needs are not always met by other broadcast media, said Mary Mazur, KCET Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer. KCET Kids & Family Channel will expand our ability to service a wider age range of young children, their parents and caregivers. MHz Worldview is a truly global programming service with news, drama and sports from around the world. Vme will provide an extensive line-up even more focused on the nations number one Spanish-speaking market.
These three digital multicast channels will complement the programming that we are delivering on the KCET HD channel, continued Mazur.
Each of KCETs three digital channels brings a unique mix of quality programming to viewers:
KCET KIDS & FAMILY CHANNEL
KCET Kids & Family (KCETFAM) will feature lively, entertaining, educational and multilingual programs from well-known producers including The Jim Henson Company, Knights Cove Entertainment and American Public Television.

The television arm of Canadas Knightscove Media Corp. (TSXV: KC.A and KC.B), Knight-TV, will provide a three-hour block of programming, including My Hometown, starring Jay Baruchel (The Sorcerers Apprentice).

Additional programs premiering in January include Big Green Rabbit, Signing Time, Wild Animal Baby Explorers, Ribert & Roberts Wonderful World, Anne of Green Gables, Zula Patrol, Wunderkind Little Amadeus, Wylands Art Studio and Curiosity Quest. The quality content of these series covers a range of topics that positively impacts the lives of children and families. Among the many themes featured are making healthy choices, learning sign language, fun ways to explore science, discovering creative approaches to problem solving, plus exploring personal growth and kid friendly financial lessons.
KCET Kids & Family Channel will also present Spanish-language content, including Los Ni os en Su Casa, the informative series that helps caregivers raise healthy, happy children, and The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss (which will appear in both English and Spanish) from The Jim Henson Company.
