ARLINGTON, Va., May 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — This summer, PBS KIDS and PBS KIDS GO! invite children on a virtual road trip with a destination all about being engaged and healthy. Beginning June 2nd, kids can fuel their minds and bodies with health-themed episodes and online activities, learning how their favorite character role models in ten different series live healthy and smart. Kicking off the trip with some new tunes, Arthur, WORDGIRL’s Captain Huggyface and others join in an exclusive new music video entitled “Get Up and Go” featuring music by famed rock band, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS. And with parents at the wheel, PBSParents.org is supporting their role with more popular health content and resources around their child’s well-being and development.”PBS KIDS is committed to supporting the whole child — cognitive, emotional, social and physical. Helping kids and families embrace a healthy lifestyle is not just a one-time message; it’s a lifelong journey,” said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President, Children’s Media, PBS. “Parents trust PBS KIDS to guide their children as they explore how to live healthy and active lives.”Throughout the summer, pbskidsgo.org will offer downloadable content, games and printable activities and dances for early elementary school kids through the “Get GOing!” and “Smart Food” links on the Web site. For preschoolers, the interactive story board — Dot’s Story Factory — on pbskids.org will encourage children to express and share how to be healthy. Ten of the stories from Dot’s Story Factory will air on television during the PBS KIDS preschool destination, home to the #1 show CURIOUS GEORGE, and other favorites, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG, SUPER WHY! and DRAGON TALES. On-air, children will embark on a virtual road trip of health-related episodes, visiting characters from ten series to learn how they live healthy. A detailed grid outlining episode descriptions, airdates and online content is also available upon request.And since no road trip would be complete without music, THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS — along with Arthur, Ruff Ruffman, the CYBERCHASE gang and others — turn up the volume to “Get Up and Go.” A downloadable extended version of the music video will be available at pbskidsgo.org, accompanied with a printable and customizable dance sequence. The extended version will also play in movie theaters across the country as part of a partnership with Kidtoons, an organization that arranges weekend G-rated movie screenings for kids and their parents.To support parents who seek information and resources to help steer their children towards success and well-being, PBS Parents (pbsparents.org) is launching a new section focused on children’s health titled, “Keeping Kids Healthy and Fit.” Topics and discussions will range from winning over picky eaters and choosing healthy snacks to book suggestions and fitness games.For nearly 40 years, PBS’ children’s service has supported the well-being of the whole child — cognitive, emotional, social and physical. In response to the dramatic predictions around children’s health and longevity tied to obesity, PBS KIDS launched a children’s health initiative to strengthen existing health-related content and resources in December 2007. PBS convened a group of health advisors including public television and Web producers; PBS member stations; community and education partners; experts in children’s media, development, health and nutrition; and others, to provide strategic counsel and build upon PBS KIDS’ legacy and assets. The summer road trip, leveraging PBS KIDS’ library and characters that reinforce the importance of good nutrition and physical activity, is an example of the many assets. A project that would support a cohesive grassroots campaign to build sustainable healthy communities is in development.PBS KIDS first kicked off a content line-up dedicated to inspiring children to live healthy lives with PBS KIDS and Sesame Workshop’s Happy Healthy Summer in 2005, and continues to model healthy behaviors throughout the series year-round. PBSTeachers.org provides year-round access to over 900 standards-based classroom resources and 700 book and Web site recommendations related to health and fitness.PBS KIDS, for preschoolers, and PBS KIDS GO! for early elementary school kids, are committed to providing the highest quality non-commercial content and learning environment for children across the country. Providing age-appropriate, diverse programming for kids, PBS KIDS and PBS KIDS GO! programs consistently earn more prestigious awards than any other broadcast or cable network. Only PBS KIDS and PBS KIDS GO! have earned the unanimous endorsement of parents, children, industry leaders and teachers. With additional PBS resources to complement its programming, including PBS KIDS online (pbskids.org), PBS KIDS GO! online (pbskidsgo.org), PBS Parents (pbsparents.org), PBS Teachers (pbs.org/teachers), PBS KIDS Raising Readers and literacy events across the country, PBS is providing the tools necessary for positive child development.

NEW YORK, April 10 /PRNewswire/ — New proprietary research released today by Centris (), the leading media market research firm, reveals that 9.2 million U.S. households could experience receptivity problems with digital TV signal coverage in the upcoming DTV transition on February 17, 2009. According to Centris, there are more than 17 million households currently receiving only over-the-air (OTA) analog signals in the U.S., of which 54ACIORFIPROCENTE are located in challenging reception areas. The study provides the first in-depth look on a national level at the scale of the issue, and identifies the top ten cities in the country that have the most consumers at- risk. The discovery of potential receptivity “gaps” in digital TV signal coverage was revealed in an earlier Centris study released in February and generated national dialogue on the issue.”We have completed an analysis of the entire country to identify where in each market the receptivity gaps exist and now have exact figures for the number of at-risk households down to individual census block groups,” says David Klein, Executive Vice President of Centris. “The statistics suggest that digital TV signal coverage will be significantly more limited than currently anticipated and further reinforce the need for industry and consumer education on this issue,” he adds.Increased risk in receptivity in regional markets depends on the local terrain, distance from towers, and the sensitivity of the consumer’s existing home antenna. “Challenging reception” in this context refers to consumers that receive only four or fewer broadcast TV stations if they only have a small or medium omnidirectional rooftop antenna or if they have an indoor antenna. In addressing the range of reception problems, Centris forecasts that 24ACIORFIPROCENTE of consumers in difficult reception areas who only have an indoor antenna or a small or medium omnidirectional antenna will receive no channels, and a further 10ACIORFIPROCENTE will receive only 1 channel.The findings mean that consumers who wish to remain OTA and continue to receive “free TV” may have to consider upgrading existing indoor or roof-top TV antennas to a more sensitive model in order to receive a satisfactory number of broadcast stations. Some over-the-air consumers who wish to buy a digital-analog converter box for use with their analog TVs may also have to consider an antenna upgrade. Similarly, consumers who are replacing an analog TV with a new digital TV may also have to contemplate obtaining a more sensitive antenna.The study also identifies the top ten most at-risk TV markets in the U.S., which account for 2 million of the over-the-air households in challenging reception areas, as follows: AT-RISK U.S. TV MARKETS (Ranked highest-lowest by No. of at-risk OTA households) 1. New York 2. Boston (Manchester) 3. Philadelphia 4. Los Angeles 5. Washington, DC (Hagerstown) 6. Seattle-Tacoma 7. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose 8. Minneapolis-St. Paul 9. Atlanta 10. Cleveland-Akron (Canton)”It should be noted that these estimates are conservative as the model used in the Centris study assumes that all consumers have roof-top antennas. In fact, the Centris survey reveals that 75ACIORFIPROCENTE or more of over-the-air households have only set-top antennas or ‘rabbit ears’ as they are commonly known,” says Barry Goodstadt, Senior Vice President of Centris.The release of this new study further highlights the need to increase dialogue on the national, regional, local and neighborhood level with regard to the issue of digital TV receptivity and the need for consumers to consider their transition options and potential antenna upgrades. Digital receptivity challenges remain a local issue that need to be addressed on a local level among all segments of the television industry including broadcasters, multichannel providers, advertisers, associations, equipment manufacturers and retailers.”To ensure a smooth transition and avoid the potential pitfalls of the digital TV transition, key players in the industry need to be armed with this information in order to make strategic business decisions and properly educate consumers,” says David Klein, Executive Vice President of Centris.About CentrisCentris is a leading market research and information company with expertise in media, entertainment, communications and technology, based in Fort Washington, PA. Serving as both a research resource and an analytical engine, Centris is the only firm that continuously tracks household information on broad entertainment, communications and information products and services.
