Expressions	Definition

(references)
PBS Kids Channel	PBS Kids, also known as PBS Kids Channel, was an American television network produced by PBS founded in the late 1990s and targeted at children aged 3-10 years. As of October 1, 2005, the feed ceased operation in favor of a new joint commercial venture, PBS Kids Sprout. "PBS Kids" has also been used by PBS as a branding label for their block of children's programming on PBS the network and its member stations. (references)
PBS Kids GO!	PBS KIDS GO! is PBS's educational, multimedia destination specifically created by, for, and about kids in their early elementary school years—an audience with limited choices for media that are both fun and educational. With a fun, quirky setting full of surprises, PBS KIDS GO! empowers today’s “big” kids to discover themselves, define the diverse world around them, explore new relationships and embrace a love of learning. (references)
PBS Kids Sprout	Kevin. Kevin is in charge of the Sprout Birthdays Department. He usually makes appearances during the day, as well as in the late night hours. Some of the actions performed by him include reading birthday cards that are sent to him through the mail, recognizing names of children who celebrate birthdays, and leading in the Sprout Birthday Song. If a child's name (and/or card) is read aloud by Kevin, that child will receive a special bonus--Magic Sprouting Seeds. (references)
PBS YOU	PBS YOU (the latter word is an acronym for "Your Own University") was founded in the late 1990s as a 24/7 channel/network featuring formal and informal educational programs and college-related fare, largely to take advantage of available rights and satellite transponder space and eager customers for carriage among the satellite-dish and some cable television companies. PBS You has also included PBS Adult Learning Service (ALS) telecourses for college credit and foreign language instruction, but as of October, 2005, is dropping these; how-to programs and public affairs programs and news predominate (the Annenberg/CPB Channel remains in place as a source of networked feeds of credit courses; PBS ALS has been decommissioned as of September, 2005).
