Detroit Public Television
Detroit Public Television/PBS recognizes that not all students have access to technology and is working hard to engage students. In addition to publishing their daily newsletter that provides learning activities for families, they are providing access to programming for specific ages and grade levels.
From 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, DPTV will offer blocks of programming geared to specific age groups – early childhood, middle school and high school – on its main broadcast channel (56.1), in collaboration with Michigan’s public television stations and the national PBS system.
Weekday Programming:
Current PBS KIDS programming (ages 2-8 years old) – 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Grades 4th-8th – 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Grades 9th-12th – 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
