5.10.20 - Public television becomes an education lifeline for NY students
'Working with local school districts, teachers, and the NYS Education Department, public television has ensured that this programming is aligned with state standards and local curriculum. PBS stations also have a vast catalogue of the best educational programming and documentaries on television, so students can tune in to learn about science, New York history, and more.'
'Families with young children can still rely on PBS KIDS for early learning, social emotional development, and special “storytime” shows. Elementary and high school students can now find appropriate programming during the school day aligned with state standards and local curriculum.'
'New York’s public television system is a family of nine stations that serve their local communities. Each station has created special web pages with information about their educational programming, online resources, and more:
- WNED – Buffalo
- WXXI – Rochester
- WCNY – Syracuse
- WSKG – Binghamton
- WPBS – Watertown
- Mountain Lake PBS – Plattsburgh
- WMHT – Albany/Troy
- THIRTEEN – New York City
- WLIW – Long Island
As New York state starts the process of rebuilding after this devastating time, your local PBS stations will be here, ready to support families and teachers with trusted education resources as well as programming that entertains, inspires, and distracts us from the everyday challenges we face.'
