WKAR PBS Kids will broadcast on new digital channel 23.4 and will be carried on participating cable systems (check with your provider for channel details). Viewers will also be able to watch the 24/7 service through wkar.org and pbskids.org and on the PBS Kids Video App on mobile and many TV streaming devices.
